Jackpine Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Nice! Those Cavalry buttons must like to travel. I found one just like it in my home town in Michigan, Had nice gilt left too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Great finds - congratulations! I have set the photo limits very large on the forum, which basically means if you upload a big photo a big photo is what we see! I have had a couple comments though so I may back it off a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bado1 Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 This afternoon netted another eagle button. This one is a large coat button in great shape. Some other stuff as well. Ray- This area is quite near a very small historic mining town. I believe you are right- it must have been a small Calvary out post to protect the settlers in the area. Today's finds... Strange horse shoe, some Spencer and Henry cases plus bullets. No coins yet but they gotta be there. I will re-size even smaller next time! HH. Dean P.S.- Ray, you are welcome to borrow one of mine while you are here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunk Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Great finds! I believe your strange horse shoe is actually an ox shoe: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/111393-oxen-shoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
