Not "Today's Finds" More like, "Few Finds Since Feb '12" ! --I'm BACK!

Well, I am BACK! It's the old Bev with Greenie ID! Hide to hide out for a little while, but I've been watching all the great finds and enjoying your stories! I've really missed posting and sharing!
So here is just a few things I've found and can't wait to share more!

The bullets are interesting, the 1882 Indian Head was fun to find and I found 2 others that I misplaced at the moment- one is a broadstruck, heavier than normal.

One of the buttons is really peculiar- It's a crest, maybe a "7" in the center of it, two figures facing outward holding something, no marks and I'm really curious about it- any help?

I think you all will like checking out what I think is a really REALLY old hammer of a pistol, the other piece was in the same hole but I dont know if they are related!

Whew! It's been too long!

Hope work doesnt get in the way today so I can fool around a little more! Heading to Washington DC tomorrow for a few days to visit the Smithsonian!

Good show. You should try to bring up the images on those "buttons". Try tooth paste and a soft toothbrush. I will catch it on that one from the purists! The copper covered bullet is modern.

I'm going to gently work on it and see what I can find for marks, etc. Unless someone has seen one or if I can find markins, I find it almost impossible to ID buttons. I looked up "coat of arms" and "crest" but it's a tough thing...maybe if someone can maybe give me what they call the figures on the side, maybe what they're holding, I could narrow it down to country of origin....Not easy!

I'm trying- I've hit a bit of a dry patch but hopefully I'll find something really interesting soon!

Hi Bev! You are a rather ambitious one. I am currently just hoping to find some thing worth posting. Its very rough to find a place to hunt out here even with most fields planted and dry ground blahs. CARM
