Shield Nickels, 1831 Large, Early Artillery Button, and 1860s Glass Finds!

[BuckleBoy]

Hello All,

Here are the highlights of the two weeks of diggin after the Spring thaw (when I was away from the forum), plus the highlights from the muddy hunt day before yesterday...

First off, here's Rodeo Recon at an oddly-situated housesite we found near a spring.



A Civil War Eagle Button I dug day before yesterday:



Powder Flask Spout dug the same hunt by Rodeo Recon:



And the rest of the flask (The other side was in pieces, but will still clean up pretty well for display):



I "dug" an 1868 Shield Nickel. (But really it just beeped at me from where it was laying right on top of the ground in a bean field ):







And Rodeo dug what looks like an 1867 Shield. (The front was not incredible in terms of detail)




A nice victorian brooch with almost all of the gilding left, dug by me:



Even though the photo I took isn't great, this is one of my nicest V nickels:



Some more of Rodeo's finds, including an 1867 IH:




And a few more of my finds from a Solo hunt:







Twelve more photos appear in Reply #1:

Re: A Post of Finds to Catch Everyone Up...

Some more site scenery. It was just above freezing, but since it was sunny it was bearable:



We hit an early site that day, and were well rewarded



Yet ANOTHER shield nickel:



I got a signal I *knew* would be a coin, and out rolls a BEAUTIFUL 1831 Large Cent:







And plenty of great, early buttons. (Only my share of the finds are pictured next):



(My favorite of the ones I dug




AND an 1802-1808 1st REGIMENT ARTILLERY BUTTON dug by Rodeo Now that's an early find for our area! Congratulations, Rodeo




We also went bottle digging to escape the winter blues, and I came up with a mid-1800s green champagne bottle





And a Dream find for me: An aqua blob top squat soda bottle marked "PHILO M. CLARK / LOUISVILLE KY" Clark opened his bottling works in the city in 1859 and sold it in 1863. So this is a nice Civil War years glass find. 8)




Cleaned up beautifully:






So that will catch us up on sharing finds. Stay tuned for more.


Oh--and one more thing...

You told me that you had made some great finds BB and I will certainly agree. You have upheld your "King of old hemesites" title again. I know you spent many hours in the cold to dig these coins and relics. WTG again. Now KFB can't say you guys are not worth a nickel anymore!!! HH.

That brooch stands out like a sore thumb....that is a greaat find! and I'm sure a few people in here would love to have it!
Plenty of nice buttons ....including a nice artillery button , which is an early war of 1812 or Revolutionary war piece. Can't make out all the detail, but its a nice find. WTG
