  1. Super copper trade piece Bob. Or who knows possibly an ancient Indian made artifact that predates the other finds by many years?Gotta love that relic program! It's been pretty much exclusive for me the last few months. I use it until I get plumb worn out or when it's not practical then I switch over too fast and cruise along.
  2. Very nice! I've been a button fanatic for around five decades now and I am facinated by clipper ships too boot.Therefore I'm very envious of your great button congrats.
  3. Fantastic finds with beautiful patinas! It's almost like you got on a time machine and took a trip back to the middle 1960's.
  4. Good dig JCR....That site you are working looks pretty far from being played out.
  5. Enjoyed your video.No silly or pretentious B S or having to listen to some big blow hard.Just good old school detecting.
  6. Fantastic relics and artifacts! I laughed out loud when you mentioned that your son was hooked on the steelfish. I resemble that remark and spent twenty plus years as a professional steelhead bum.i was able to fish all over Northern California and Oregon and Vancouver Island. Even though that pretty much put my detecting on the back burner I took advantage and located numerous Native American Artifacts and sites, antique bottles, and detecting sites.Again excellent finds and thanks for sharing.
  7. Relic program with tweaks is hotter than a pistol.Personally I have had better success with it than any other and that includes a wide open goldfield program.Very consistent array of impressive finds as usual.
  8. They were also on the rare occasion produced in copper.My favorite and exceptionally rare ones to dig out here in the west were embossed and from various San Francisco clothier and mercantile agencies dating from the California gold rush period and beyond.I have also been fortunate enough to dig a fair amount of examples of these so called garment or underwear buttons but what I consider to to be shirt buttons that are in my opinion military related.They are always a welcome site indeed when they pop out of the ground.
  9. Rivets for sure.Keep swinging you are probably into an early site and better finds should be nearby.
  10. Here are a few so called sportsmen's buttons HardPack and a Maritime button that came from the same place as the controversial and not a sports button was recently dug. The button pictured below would qualify I suppose as a true sportsmans button. Not sure what category the next one would fall under I guess that would be in the eye of the beholder. A sportsmans cufflink? The maritime Naval or Marine button was found last summer at the same place as the controversial mystery button.Very frustrating to photograph as there appears to be an inscription on the anchor. This final button is very special to me.It was sight found by me a few weeks after the mega Christmas flood of 1964 when I was twelve years old. At the gold rush ghost town called Timbucktoo near Smartsville California where my father was born and raised. When I showed it to my grandfather he called it a hunters or sportsman's button so that stuck with me. This button is not really period to the gold rush per say but 1870's or 80's?
