I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard freshperms! Take a look at Forum:Texas for information (i.e., clubs, etc.) directly related to your state.

2nd - Nice Indian find.

3rd - Not sure what that button thingy is!

It's almost too crude to be a button.
You didn't tell us what it's made of... if I was pressed to guess I'd say either pewter or lead.

It might be a lead fishing weight, but I'm thinking it's a button.

Thanks for your reply. It’s definitely lead.

Thanks for your responses. Definitely crudely made so pretty tough to figure out. I’ll just say a button off of a fishing shirt made to be an emergency sinker.
