Short Hunt with Results

romeo-1 · Apr 10, 2009

Once again I could not get permission to hunt a new site I have been checking due to the owner not home so I went back to my "beat site". Still not quite beat. I got another lead seal, different from the last four I have found. I can't get enough off of it to ID but I don't think it is too old...late 1800s, early 1900s. I also found an old copper ring which I am sure was plated at one time. Best find was the marked pewter button. I was really hoping that it was military but I think it is just civilian...unless someone can prove otherwise.

Yep...that's what I think as well...hope for the best!

This is the prime time here...farmer's haven't started sowing yet so the fields are wide open and nicely compacted from the winter's snow...ideal condition....just got to get on the right sight!

I am with PA on this one, it looks like a Revolutionary war button, made out of pewter.

I am sure that it is Rev. War era but not too sure on whether it is military...

Exactly, right period but difficult to prove either way. Civvy buttons were used during War & of course other reasons.
