I'm new in town...street torn up, had to hit it.

A few months back I was laid off after eleven years service. I was in shock for about a month. My friend said move to the coast. So I rented my house and moved my family to a old port town founded in 1710. Things have been up/down that is why I haven't posted in quite awhile. The torn up street has a trolley track going down the middle, I hunted the "no mans land" and the torn up street, most of the finds were in the "no mans land" under some old Ivy in front of the this beautiful old house. This my first real hunt here at my new home. The button thing looks pretty old, maybe civil war? 2 wheats, and a 41 nickel, other junk I was sure was spanish....hummmm!!!

Jorge,
Very sorry to hear about the job. Seems no one is safe any more in this economy. Sad. I hope you and your family are doing o.k.

Is that a lantern thumb wheel maybe? :icon_scratch:

Great to see a post from you again.
I wish you all the best.

Doug, hello man, yeah life changes are a $&%@ we are getting by ;)

..the square holed thing is real thin and is gilded gold....it had to be a decorative, so a lamp twisty thumb wheel maybe not, but good try.

Looks like an excellent hunting opportunity! Is that "button" with the square hole maybe off of a saddle? I've seen similar to this in silver, but not gilded gold. Doesn't mean they don't exist.

Good luck and keep hunting!
