I decided to look on Google Earth and find a school I had not hunted in a few years . The one I found I remember finding some wheats and two silver dimes years ago so I was hoping for some more http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif . The very first target was a +87 at 3 inches , S.B . Anthony dollar http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif . Then the relics started popping out , I found a old 12 Ga Majestic shell , two old buckles , a what's it and a cool old button . The button has on it " Oxford Shire & Buckingham Shire " any one have an idea of it's age ? It has no back left . The two old coins found were both nickels , no date Buffalo and a 1948 Jefferson . The Buffalo is my first one in 3 plus years ! As for the silver it's a nice big 925 sterling spinner ring http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/headbang.gif. It came up as a +89 at one inch . The other rings are just junk . Total clad for 4 hours was $14.84 . http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_thumright.gif

Glen the button has an old style "rifleman's Horn" that are seen on older type Military one piece buttons , but they used this design or motif on later two piece (usually iron or steel back ) button types. Yours is most likely an early 1900 to 1920's sporting blazer button because of the rusty or rusted out (in your button case) back.

Nice finds Glen. The spinner is a beauty. Lucky you. After 28 straight days of rain, it is just a little damp to be kneeling down to dig. The sun did come out today and is supposed to stick around a few days. We can only hope. Thanks for sharing.
