Relic Hunting
Out relic hunting a Civil War battle site in South Louisiana yesterday and got a real strong non-ferrous "squeaker"! Could tell it was ornate with a design but did not make out the letters until a little cleaning! Big debate.... looking around on treasure net, I see some post about it being from the Norfolk & Western Railroad (which would not fit into the area I found it) and other's posting about the overall/ coveralls company that made work clothes for the Norfolk & Western Railroad but also sold work clothes to farmers and workers at the turn of the century! Like to hear everyone's thoughts! Below is what I found through some research! Thanks!
