Thread: Trade axe and lots of early military buttons

  1. #1

    Trade axe and lots of early military buttons

    Finds from the last 3 hunts minus all the coins. The video with the trade axe has lots of colonial finds that ya might not see everyday, mostly military, The trade axe was found at a site with lots of French and Indian war activity as well as Rev war activity, to much stuff to take pics. The buttons are from 2 different sites and are pre 1830. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKTV99a5blM Thanks for looking HH coop
