Hey everyone,
just thought i'd let you know im still alive & kickin, just been cooped up for the winter

Me & dad went out to the old 1900's Fire Creek Coal camp today for about 4 hours and found...

3 wheat pennies (1928, 1929, 1940)
1 nickel (1940)
mining tag
broken harmonica reeds
several buttons
a badly deformed bullet
a broken Plymouth car key
lots and lots of assorted junk
head to a tool of some kind
and last but definitely not least.....
1 piece of Fire Creek Coal Co. scrip

i will post pics tomorrow because the coins are soaking to better reveal the dates

What type of buttons?
 
just regular pants/shirt buttons
 
ok the coins haven't changed after further soaking so here r pics
I actually thought the scrip was a button until i got home and cleaned it up
anyone know what type of tool that head came from? (last pic)

does anyone else think that the bullet has a tooth-looking imprint in it?
or is it just me?
