Local Finds For the Week. Oxfordshire Button #2.

[Kurios1]

Howdy Folks. I have been staying in my hometown hunting this week. Landed a new permission next door to where I found an old British Military button last year. I found another one yesterday. I can't remember all the details and am too tired, sorry, to look them up right now. Oxfordshire on the button. Pitt & Company button makers in London England. 1880's I believe. This little place in the middle of no where had some pretty cool history back in the day. I found the large round disk with the face of a man & woman on each side. It has little pins on the edge as if it rotated in some type holder. I found a penny size "coin" but, it has zero detail and looks more like a dug nickel? I found the Marksman BB gun today at my abandoned school. It has to be a recent loss. I will save some Kid shooting his eye out! I dug the old plastic and brass comb a few days ago. In fine condition with no missing teeth. Kinda' different.

I think I'll be spending more time researching the history of this little place and trying to locate some more potential hot spots. I suppose my yard is a good start as it has given up my oldest US coin, a 1826 Half Cent. There's still plenty of targets needing removed. Thanks for stopping by. Kurios1

Some of that stuff is very cool! I would, however, like to travel back in time and beat the person who invented the metal pencil eraser holder. Those ring up exactly as nickels on the AT Pro��. Your keepers are great! I have yet to dig even one, good, ornate button. Good work!

Cool finds! The boy/girl disk is a spinner. It sat is a frame, and when you would spin it, you would see them kissing.

Thanks mate! That's cool. Any idea how old this "spinner" thingy might be? I need to do some research now that you have provided some info.

Don't know for sure, but based on the style of the graphics, I'd say 1940's.
