Hey guys, I haven't posted anything in a good while, but I figured I would put some of the good and interesting finds for the year on here for yall to take a look.



If anybody has any info about the button or the cub scout, boy scout badge like the age or any details please let me know.

That is a Cub Scout neckerchief slide. I believe that particular emblem might be for Tiger Cub Adult Partners/Den Leaders. Lots of nice other finds there too!

thanks, wish it wasn't raining right now. I would be out finding more lol. I found the neckerchief just a sec ago. Supposedly from the 60's. Is there any way to polish the brass?? just curious.

Has anyone ever seen a similar button?

 

[Evolution]

The button looks either silver plated or silver. Is there any backmark? Nice finds.

 

[mreese1849]

what is a backmark

 

[Evolution]

A backmark refers to any writing on the back of the button that could assist with dating the button. Is there any writing at all on the back?

Thanks, I found the button in the same area that the Minnie was found. The park I hunt was an old mill site from the 1800's. That's where I find a ton of old buttons, buckles, harmonica reeds, and old coins. Around the lake in the park I find modern coins, but closer to the woods at the top of the hill is where I find the old stuff. I only know of one person that has hunted it. He has found a bunch of silver quarters, but I haven't found a single one. I keep finding mercury dimes, wheats, and one buffalo. My oldest so far are two 1919 wheats. My goal right now is to find a standing liberty quarter and by the age of the coins I have found I believe there should be one there. Wish me luck lol

Very nice finds! With your ambitious approach, you'll definitely find your standing liberty quarter --- just a matter of time! Andi

Thanks, I've been trying to get new hunting sites and have been pretty successful. The more places the better the chance. I went and introduced myself to the city manager and he was a pretty cool guy. He is allowing me to hunt the old rail depot where the city was first started. The founder of the city stood on a stump in the same area where he allows me to hunt and sold the first lots off in 1840. I have hunted there a few times so far, but it's kind of a rough area now and its filled up with beer bottle tops and rail road parts. I did manage to find a dime smushed by the train though lol. I also found the weird piece in the pic above with the unicorn on it. Does anyone know what it is?
