Old Mauch Chunk Mansion hunt

[dgrs2]

Went out today for a two hour hunt locally. Have permission to hunt a old mansion in the area. Ended up with a 1950 wheat. A 1888 Indian and a interesting little button. I wish I had a better camera to take pics with but I don't. The button appears to still have some gold gilt left on it. Almost looks hand made from the marks on the front of it. Anyway. Here is a look at them for you. Any thoughts on the button?

Awesome find dgrs! I love that town, my girlfriend and I always come up for fall fest with my sister and brother-in-law. Was just up there a month or two ago to hike Glen Onoko, we stayed at the Gilded Cupid B&B, enjoyed a town-wide yard-sale that weekend as well.

I would LOVE to go metal detecting up there but I doubt there are many places to hunt without permission.

Glen Onoko is open to detecting, I believe you do need to call the Park office these days,
to tell them you will be there for detecting.

I've hit the Glenn. I have only found two wheaties there. There use to be a park there in the 1800's. I think it was detected over the years and pretty much cleaned out. I still go there once and awhile. You never know.

dgrs2 , nice looking finds and yes an interesting looking button, looks like the sewing eye is off set. Can not tell much about the Indian, how's he headband condition? And I must ask about the background of the pictures, it reminds me of being in the engine compartment of a vehicle, what is it?

thank you for posting as it gives us shut ins a chance to share in others trips and the pictures are pretty good for not a good camera, they sure add to the hunt!...................63bkpkr
