~Woohoo! *ACC Button* and my *First Shield Nickel*~

[Nana40]

So we've been researching this site. We've been there before, but as I stepped out of the truck this morning things seemed to look different. I think different, because we've taken the time to read about the place. This is a large area and has seen folks around for many years, so we were hoping to find some older keepers.
First find in the keeper pocket was a buckle! Love to find these. I'll add it to my small collection for sure.

Next find was this neat brooch/pin....I am still cleaning on it.....

I find a broken buckle, and then a first for me. My first shield nickel!!


I found this next...anyone know what it is?


Found a neat lock...

And Lisa found one that is soooo cool! It's in the shape of a heart. She also found her first V nickel. She hasn't sent me any pics yet.
Found a 1912D wheat. Is the prettiest color of green and is cleaning up fairly well.

Don't know what this is, but thought it was something to take a second look at...

When did they make harmonica reeds out of lead? It's lead with the little brass/copper looking little something-or-others....
Found a toe tap, assorted lead (one's a lead seal) and other bits and pieces.
Last find of the day was a button. I had no idea what it was. I thought thru the crusty dirt I could see some initials, but didn't know what I had. When I got home, I was so nervous about cleaning it. Here's a pic with just brushing it lightly with a toothbrush....

I started getting all fidgety and trying to read what it said. ACC? Does it say ACC? What's ACC? OH MY GOODNESS! I knew I needed to take my time and not totally ruin something that might be good. Remembered reading on one of BB's threads not to soak it in water if it's a two piece, so I got the toothpick out and got to cleaning. After what seemed like hours of picking at it, I got a few Q-tips and dampened them. Rubbed a bit more of the dirt off and here's what it looks like....

I can read the word 'Waterbury' on the back..and there's something else there, but I can't make it out.

Happy dance occurred in the den, at my desk, looking thru a magnifying glass with a toothpick in one hand and the button in the other.

Have a great week!!

Thanks ya'll!! Been a bit busy this weekend...had to do the annual Super Bowl commercial party.
I've tried to clean up part of the back. Larry...the 'O' in 'CO' is a big'un.


I think I'm done cleaning on it. Thanks, IP and BB!

Did get back out there today for a while. Found my first big flat button! Says Plated London. I thought this one was pretty special...even tho some of you may have already found thousands of them.



Found another buckle...


And another one of those watch winder thingys. This is the second one I've found this year. The first was from a different site.




I got a what's it. It looks to have measurements on the prong end and Webster Pat Feb 8 (could be 3) 1874 on the other.




A few other buttons and a bunch a lead....





Here's just a few of the non keeper pocket things....just a few mind you, the rest is in the relic bucket.


Have a great week! Find somethin' good!

Nana,
I'm headed to work right now, but I can't wait to get home and look at you finds again and see what that ACC button is. Congrats to you both on a super hunt. I think that whatsit may be one of these I spotted in Crouch's CW relics book. It says it's a "music holder that attached to instruments." What do you think?
Back later,
MM

I found one ....... some ancient relics from USA are identical in Europe.

That other item you couldn't figure out is a handle to what I believe is an old butter knife. The blades sometimes broke off near the handle. Nice finds.
