Buckles , shoe and horse tack . 3 in Mar ...5 last week anyway totaled out with 10-11 of them ,for 4 hunts . 18 buttons.

Re: Hot Diggity dawg

I like those Irish! It's George III by the way. What is the date?

oops .. Thanks IP The date is rough , looks like a 1783

Try to post a close picture. 1783 would be a good one, so I suspect 1782.

why ,I want tit to be a good one

Just because.

need more light 8) may take a while .. check out the buckles , any thing of interest

Like that oldie in the center! Don't see those dug around here.

Thanks , That one is a "first", in one piece . Found similar design,at a diff. field , but the harrowing disc's, murdered it .

I've found pieces of what would have been beautiful buckles. One was solid silver and marked... would have been awesome.

Re: Hot Diggity dawg

Okay, here's my newbie question.

How come there's so many belt buckles that are dug? It always baffles me that some areas produce so many.

Travelers relied on horseback and stage coaches ,all the climbing and dismounting , led to lost buckles,coins , and buttons , at some of the more active places . There was a stable where these were found . Thanks for your interest

I have never seen one of those pillar buttons that large. Much better than most Spanish silver coins that are found! I personally think it's a banner find considering my cob and even less quality Spanish reales have made it up there.

IP, you sure have seen one that large before, in person and on forums.

BTW, I just posted the same button a few days ago and in 2009.

Nope... I apprarently had that one on ignore. I guess that makes 2, but still something that is rarely posted.

Re: Hot Diggity dawg Update "pillar dollar , seated dime" today

that dollar looks amazing. would love to see some better pics of it.
you might wanna even give it it's own thread. i almost missed it as an addendum to your previous post.
the dime is sweet, too. nice little streak you've put together.

Re: Hot Diggity dawg Update "pillar dollar , seated dime" today

Don, that makes me wonder if that was what my friend the Cladman found. I'll have to ask him what type of reale it was.
