I hit my favorite relic spot last weekend with my brother and a visiting friend for my bi-yearly western hunt. 2 small children keep me busy in other ways these days :). Hunting way off the beaten path has its advantages. I uncovered a small burn pit that yielded a good number of eagle buttons and insignia. Several firsts surfaced including the "B" "D" and half a Hardee pin. My favorite finds are buttons and head gear and these made my day. The Bormann fuses were also a first. If you appreciate glass as much as I do you will realize the significance of the Hospital shards and the Drakes. Someday I hope to uncover a complete example. I attached a few more pics in the post. Thanks for looking and good luck with your next dig!!

Looks like you detected where a freakin museum burned down. Pretty awesome finds...
 

Simply awesome. Beautiful buttons! Is that what I think it is,a cameo inside a button?
 

Killer finds, congrats!
 

Truly about as good as it gets.......I would spend every spare minute at that site. :icon_thumleft:
 

Great weekend hunt!
 

Awesome seems an insufficient term MT4. That's SUPER AWESOME!! HH, Quindy.
 

Nice! Congrats!!
 

That is a great bunch of relics! I like all of it, but especially the toothbrush.

Cheers,


Buck
 

That is completely awesome. I would hunt that site again. There must be more there. What you have found so far is a dream come true for most of us. Thanks for sharing.

WOW!!!!!!!! and in all capitals......you've got a great spot......nice hunting and isn't it great to hold something that old in your hands......congrats
 

amazing hunt!! congrats
 

You killed it Evan - that's a super assortment of western brass and lead! My favorites are the "B" and "D" hat letters. Those are my initials and my birthday's next month (hint-hint!!). That should have you fired up for the next DIV hunt. See you in a few weeks ..... Bill
 

Those are some sweet relics...love the buttons
