    Some good finds

    Have not posted for awhile for a variety of reasons but hope to catch up a bit, we have made some good finds and these are a sample I will post some more later. My best find is the Model 1851 Officer's Sword Belt plate (circa 1862-1864! An 1861 Fatty Indian, WW 1 Cap Badge, Indian Wars Eagle Coat Button. Diane dug an 1893 V Nickel and an 1883 Indian.
