Nueces River Finds

[txkickergirl]

Ok, its been a busy week for me, I managed to get out with my dad and brother for a hunt crawling through brush to get to this place but the as you can see from the pics it has some great stuff. I did not find much, all the good stuff you see in the pics is my brothers.

I need your help on the Taft, button, pin, medal?? Anyone ever seen anything like it? I think I may have also found part of it. I found this buckle looking thing that says President on it. You can see it in the pics but I didn't know it said president until after I took the pic. I will try to get a better pic of it and post it later.

The ring without the stone is gold and its old, I don't know more about it than that but the bottles look like 1800's

Love that Taft button. Could that be a wax stamp?

Love that Taft button. Could that be a wax stamp?

haven't thought of that...thanks what size are wax stamps? this thing is probably a dash smaller than a quarter

Great post TX.
That Taft piece is super cool.
Congrats,

Don't know if the name "Taft" would transfer the right way. My guess, it would got to be spelled backwards to come out the right way on paper? Still a great find!

That's some pretty old stuff, I'd be heading back there for sure, Gotta be some old silver coins around there, WTG

Great finds...I agree that it looks like a cufflink! Nice job!

 

[txkickergirl]

cuff link is what my dad says too and probably is. I actually found some info that would put President Taft in the area after he was president and even before. His brother lived and owned a ranch that was close to this area.

txkickergirl -

I agree with the cufflink thing and thought that right off the bat.

Great crockery, glass, ring, and bits!

The "President" thinggy you have is part of a suspender buckle.

See the pic of one I dug this past summer...

WOw, that's a great find. When was Taft president?
