I was looking for an Indian and I found one. Wasn’t the coinage type but I’ll take it. This is my first cool button.

I've found several of those here in Santa fe , and one in Taos . The U.S. Indian Service preceded the Bureau of Indian Affairs - I think these buttons were made from the 1890's to the
1930's. Nice Find !

I think 1900-1920. Bottles are machined but turning purple and I didn’t see any prohibition bottles at the site.

Congratulations that is a great looking button!

I dug one last year but (something all-to-familiar) it was crushed

We have a local reservation and and a historic Indian school.

That is a really cool button. Do some research, pretty crazy stories for some of those agency field offices in the late 1800s.
