Ground is Still Unfrozen!!!

Dec. 26 and it's 45 degrees and sunny with no snow on the ground in Pennsylvania? That surely doesn't happen often! I hit a spot today that I've hit several times before. I didn't find much, but it was just nice to get out.

'41 and '45 wheats

Some kind of military button


Huge ball of lead


Cuff links


And this decorative piece. Maybe a fancy part of a horse bridle? And other ideas?

Nice assortment of finds. I would love to get out in this warm Pa weather but i have to work the next 6 days. Hopefully it will last another week or two so i can get out.

nice finds. your military button appears to be a Civil War staff officer's button. But would have to see the backmark to know for sure. but it for sure dates to around that era. the cufflinks are rivets for leather. could have been on anything from horse leather to cartridge box rivets. Not sure what the last item is but that is a good guess though I think it may have gone to something else because of the missing item in the center. May be box or furniture related. but neat stuff. if you post a pic of the back of the button I; or another T-Net'er may be able to give you a better date.

Thanks for the help! I didn't realize the button was that old!
