I scalped an indian when hunting.

These finds were very unexpected, was at the very same park with my hunting partner just the other day finding nothing. Today I decided to discriminate and pick through the trashy section. All these were found within less than an hour. The button I thought was only from maybe WW1 until I got home and saw the infintry insignia. Kinda hard to tell when your digging at dusk.
nice scratch on the buffalo though, oh well.
enjoy,

wow I just shave mine .....that looks like it would hurt this injun

The eagle infantry button is from the 1850s or 1860s. That is a nice one, with no pushes(face dents) and the shank intact.

Yes, definately the best find of the day. I forgot about the wheat i found, it rolled out of my pocket when i was getting ready for bed. Everything was between 4 and 5 inches down. My deeper nickels usually come in as foil, this is the first older one that read high coin. and it actually has a date.

Nice Buffalo with date. IH's are always fun to find........... one of my favorites. That button is stellar too

From my digger, it was all rocky soil. more rocks than dirt came out of these holes. Its whare an old one room school house was so there was tiny remnants of brick and morter. had to twist my digger back n forth to get some depth between the rocks.
