I found the Double Gilt ,two small Gilt buttons, the pocket watch and the 1801 next to each other last year. For months I have been thinking that these items may have been from a lost cloak, or possibly from a doomed traveler who met his fate at this remote site. I started thinking that if either one of these was the case, then there are more goodies at the site. I finally was in the area today so I swung by for a quick hunt. I was correct. I found a matching button to the Double Gilt, but I also found two other buttons nearby , or more likely studs. I also found a number of grommets and some old small tin, so I have a feeling this may have been an impromptu campsite.

Is anyone familiar with the type of studs pictured below??

I like the buttons. I also found the rest of that watch here in Minnesota.

So I can eliminate the possibility that these were used by King Arthur in the Court of Camelot? :D
 
Very nice finds
