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!!!

Nice finds, I believe the airplane button is a post office button of some sort... I don't have my books in front of me so I will double check that... looks like you are getting into the swing of things.

Nice pre-Civil War buttons. Probably 1840s from the Mexican War.
