Heck of a day at the crossroads

[laplander]

Melvin and I went to the crossroads today and gave the Equinox's a royal workout site included a one room school house and 3 cabins. The first shot is the tailgate roundup he out hunted me with 4 Indians the oldest was a 64, 3 wheats and a nice GS button I missed the Betty Boop pin.
I dug 2 Indians, 1- '69 Shield, 1870's John Deere pin and another Civil War button this one is an Infantry with lots of guild left on it. Rounded it out with early suspender buckle.

Thanks Mark, Shields are a crappy little signal for most part. Not many people dig 9 thru 13's but just like deep silver once you get onto it you just know its there. Oh by the way all these Civil war buttons are the same signals.

Good eye Floyd. That's one odd looking rivet the best we could tell. I always check the lamp advance wheels and suspender buckles for patent info, makes for some interesting reading.
