yoshi Posted January 22, 2024 Share Posted January 22, 2024 They don't stick to a magnet. Really wondering what I have here. They're differently sized except for 2. 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/25142-can-anyone-help-me-identity-these-one-looks-to-have-a-flower-engraved/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoolofhardNox Posted January 22, 2024 Share Posted January 22, 2024 They look like rivets to me. Some are plain and some had designs on them. That size probably went through leather, if that is what they are. 2 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/25142-can-anyone-help-me-identity-these-one-looks-to-have-a-flower-engraved/#findComment-265176 Share on other sites More sharing options...

These show up a lot (in my experience, that is) in Western ghost towns which were active in the second half of 19th Century well into the 20th Century. They may also have been used in clothing (i.e. woven fabric). That's my guess. Made of copper alloy, they sure ring up nice (i.e. moderately high conductor) on a detector! 2 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/25142-can-anyone-help-me-identity-these-one-looks-to-have-a-flower-engraved/#findComment-265188 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Bach Posted January 22, 2024 Share Posted January 22, 2024 Rivets for sure.Keep swinging you are probably into an early site and better finds should be nearby.
