Out in the woods with DDub & L4S and I found a Key date 1895 Barber d!

Went out metal detecting with DDub & Lookn4seated for a 6+ hour hunt out in the woods, we started off at 1 site that we had hoped would produce for us but after a few hours we just found some IH's, wheats and I found my barber dime, I showed it to L4S and he said it was a good year so I was happy. After that we stopped off at "Windy City Detectors" so DDub could pick up his new SunRay probe and we chatted with Ron for a bit. After that we headed out to another spot in the woods where we had some luck at last year and right off the bat DDub found 2 silver's and the rest of the finds.

The button below was found by Lookn4seated and I think its a type of CW button, anybody have any input if it is or what it could be? It has writing on the back but I didn't get a pix of it, he will have to add the info for that. Enjoy the video and Happy Hunting!!!

Again, the button is Indian Wars 1875-1902.. the easiest way to tell is the top of the wings pointing out and creating a horizantal line across the top of the wingspan. CW eagle button's wings continue upward.. Gratz on the key date

Congrats on the finds! Do you have info on that be prepared eagle pin? A few months ago I found the bottom to one in the park but the eagle was broken off.

I spoke too soon, found it. Boys scouts pin circa 1911.

Yea I have found both types in the past, sounds like you just found the banner pins. From what people have told me the full badge type I have posted is an Eagle Scout badge (I found another on a few years ago but from what I remember it didn't have the 2 stars on either side of the eagle) the badges are just about the size of a silver dollar, as for the banner pins maybe they are just for boy scouts and are the size of quarters.

Yeah that's probably what I have, the smaller cubscout banner pin. Even the earlier Boyscout items seem to be pretty common.

Yea if you look on the back of your pin it will say "PAT. 1911" & "B.S. OF A.", but who knows when they were really made.

Great video and congrats on your finds. I like your BSA hat pin. I am a scout leader and have been collecting for years and love finding scout items.

Cool I used to hunt an old closed down Scouts site and found a few of those buttons, if you look at the bottom under the eagle you will see "Pat 1911". My avatar is a special neckerchief "strengthin the arm of liberty" from what I remember was in the 40's when the Scouts raised money to add additional structural support to the arm because it was failing and it got a buckle/bulge from the weight.
