Mining Finds

[RichieRich]

Scored these beauties hunting in the Mtns around old mining claims. The button looking item is actually off a meat saw or logging saw. Most likely brass. The nozzle was used after they pressure washed the Mtn to clean the cracks and crevices in the rocks that were exposed.

Nice research vpnavy. It was suggested a hand saw as well. Meat saw was suggested as it was within a hundred yards of a hunting camp, logging because of the area. Could be the carpenter was building there. We did not find any nails or other items to suggest a cabin

I searched for all kind of Kutters but only found the newer emblem on "meat cutters." Now, I "assume" they are newer since they include a different logo and copyright info. Eitherway - coooooooooooooool find!

Man I have many Kutter tools, never seen one of those coins. Combine that with the nozzle and you have two really cool historical finds.

I know I will likely be the only one to do so, but I am voting banner.
