Old Military Button, Williams Cleaner and Three Ringer

[bergie]

Got out to South Carolina with Carolina Tom and had a good couple days. Here are my better finds. Any idea on the old button? It has a screw back, but otherwise looks very old. We also found many musket balls at one location.

Might be a hat badge but I can't find a match...

Did Carolina Tom find anything out there or is he keeping his head down and his mouth shut?

Collar Stud?

I'm thinking along the same lines as Cru, possibly a shoulder tab or collar stud.

How old do you think it is... nice find,
Dave

Thank you for the comments - a friend of Tom said Marine and either late 1800s or early 1900s

I found some stuff smarty pants, and I didn’t keep my mouth shut, you know better than that.

I had a great time Bergie. Thanks for the invite brother.

Congrats on the finds.

Couldn't resist. I was expecting to see a post from you with several silver coins and the obligatory Bergie roast comment.

Ha! I neglected to thank Carolina Tom here for playing Santa and giving me a much needed pouch and hand digger (I was taking the shovel to everything). I’m sure he wanted a chance to be invited back by the land owner by encourage more responsible Bergie digging in addition to being a great dude. Thanks Santa!

Great finds I wish there were old Military stuff here. I did find a WW2 hat badge in the woods some kid must have taken it from his Grandpa or something
