Scott
seems to be having pretty good luck with his new metal detector. There's
a good variety from bullets, buttons (including 4 different types of
infantry), friction primers, gun parts, a Richmond spur, knapsack
parts, lantern wick adjustment with 1863 patent, eating utensils, 3 brass
toe plates, 3 brass watch keys, a Springfield rifle bayonet scabbard tip
and numerous other items. The second photograph is a closer look at some
button he found. Very nice! |

Jim found this button in
Pennsylvania, where he also recovered several colonial coins. At first
glance the button appears to have the image of a woman on it, but after
closer inspection, it appears to be a soldier with a uniform on which
has a high collar. Also notice that the button has an eagle with its
head at about 1 o'clock. Any information would be greatly appreciated. |

Tom was detecting at a house site
(no house) from the late 1800s found among other things a button
for the Knoxville Traction Company. He did a search on the web and
the KTC was a rail service in Knoxville 1897-1904. I am not sure
how the button would end up here on "possum" creek. |

Here
is the pic of the Spanish piece of eight found at an old settlers
fort site. This was found by T. G. a very nice find. The detail on this
"cob" is very good as you can see. Nice find! T.G. |

Dave
found this very unique silver and gold ring. It is very ornate and the
first of its kind that I have seen. I think some people call it a snuff
box ring and others a pill box ring. The workmanship of the ring and
also the condition of the ring is great. Attempts to verify the
age of the ring have been in vain. If you have an idea about the age of
the ring or the value please email me and I will pass the info on to
him. |
