Can Anyone Help Me Identity These? One Looks To Have A Flower Engraved


Recommended Posts


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.

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!

Rivets for sure.Keep swinging you are probably into an early site and better finds should be nearby.
