Breezy day today, and the finds were cool too! From left to right. 1891 V nickel, 1907 V nickel, Kosmos pencil sharpener, 54 wheat back , Waterbury Scoville coat button, and old unidentified cartridge. 44 Russion? Go get you some!

Outstanding job on those V's! Buddy, had there been a gold coin in there, you woulda found it!

WTG Msareborn! That's impressive finding two V's at the same time, and then finding the Kosmos, what a hunt thanks for sharing! HH

Hatpin;
The button is fairly common in our neck of the woods, because of Fort Sherman from the 1870's - 1930. Some say the buttons we find are from civil war uniforms recycled for the indian wars. That seems to be the only likely explanation. I have a pile of them. Some even have building.

Button looks like General Services Uniform, Civil War Era...I found one just like it here in Iowa..

Sounds about right for this button. It's the most common we find here from the fort days.
