Wow a silver coin likely from the 1600's!!!! That is awesome.

Yeah I think you are correct. The back of mine is different though...gold gilted and "Double Gilt" written on it. Thanks.

Yeah a GW button also crossed my mind but I guess that there were no cuff size versions.

Trade Era relics...flat buttons, British military button from the 1790's, Trade rings, Silver Trade Brooch I found a virgin indian camp site this spring and hit it pretty hard last week. It is a special place....lots of pottery and copper chuncks everywhere. And some nice coppers...

Here are some of my finds from up by my cottage at the end of last year. There are some trade era items from the 1700's and then some copper culture items in there too. It is awesome to post again! I will be heading back up to the cottage next week and I am really looking forward to...
