    Silvers - Copper - Buckles

    So lets everybody try to guess where I hunted today.

    This post is a combo of yesterday and today.

    Yesterday got another 1846 copper, not nearly as nice as the last one. Also 6 wheat's and a 1937 merc. If anybody has any idea of what the lead figurine is please let me know. I am thinking Dutch Boy or Buster Brown????

    The wheats are: 19,20,35,41,44,54 and another cut one. That's two cut ones and neither one has the date...

    Also got WWI buttons, one each day. The larger one has a back mark of Steele & Johnson Waterbury CT

    Today I got the 1934 merc and the buckle cover with the heart on it. The 2 large buckles were one a days. I now have 3 of those. Also got another gag loop, now 4 of those.

    I believe that covers the hunts. Thanks for reading and HH everyone.

    Thanks everybody. Would anybody know what type of animal the large buckles would have been used on? Also anybody got any idea of what the lead figurine is?

    Excellent Al! Man, that place will be your honeyhole for another year or so at least! Congrats on another late date LC and wow, you're certainly amassing the old buckles rather quickly sir!
