Newbie goes on second hunt. FINDS BUTTONS!!!!

[bennyg23]

In the last 3 days I've been out hunting about 30 hours. Holy cow my knees and quads are killing me. I'm starting to understand what the Lobo is trying to tell me and I seem to be digging better targets. One thing that was kind of cool was that 1949 seemed to be the lucky number today, an Oregon LP 1949, Nickel 1949, Chevrolet Thriftmaster emblem 1947-1949. The spoon is an old Wallace NS mess hall spoon (I think) stamped US . The gun is only a toy but came from a site that has been abandoned since the 50's. The 2 buttons are cool, number 1 has what looks to be an airplane and the second has an eagle with a shield, not to sure maybe military, any thoughts? The belt buckle is stamped HIGKOK, the lid is from a 1950's Lustre Creme shampoo jar and an old pocket watch. The bullets are WRA 25-35 rounds pretty old I think and the single is a huge old cowboy round, cant read the caliber. And the the penny is my oldest coin so far 1944 not to bad considering Arizona didn't become a state until 1912. I'm loving this!!!!!!!!!

Thanks again everyone!!!

It looks like you may be in a site going back to the Spanish/Am wars, 1880+. The eagle looks to be the ones which came in around 1870 and went to 1903.

Nice Civil War era Eagle Button. Can you make out the backmark on it? If you can, that will help us date it for you. Good Job

Cool stuff those auto emblems could fetch a nice penny at a swap meet.

Post a clear, close picture of the buttons... they are old. The eagle is from the 1800s military and the other appears to be a cannon? Very nice finds. It took me a long time to start finding good stuff like that.

Hey nice finds, you're doing great !! Doublecheck that belt bucke!! I found one exactly like it last year. On the maker stamp the H is actually a B in "HIGKOK" and mine is stamped sterling right about where your thumb is in the picture. The hinge part is also stamped "Bronze" on mine. My buckle came out of the ground looking similar to yours as to dirtyness, but I was curious to why it gave such a good silver signal on my Ace 250. I started to really clean it and then I saw the sterling mark. ..... then .... Happy Dance. Good Luck and Happy Hunting.
