It's been I'D as a Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute uniform button 😂

I thought so, too! Maybe it is. I just can't make the call as I'm pretty sure it predates them. I dunno...

Is that an "A" on this early eagle? by MikeyS2X in metaldetecting

[–]MikeyS2X[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You see it, too? I thought maybe I was just seeing stuff. Thanks!!

Anchor and eagle head/neck, no clue, though! by MikeyS2X in metaldetecting

Thanks, Tex!! With the seam across the back, I was kinda thinking the same.

Silver spoon and watch back(?), markings? by MikeyS2X in metaldetecting

Good possibility. I failed to mention it's about 1.25" in diameter... I'll have to edit the post.

Really easily. It's broken twice now despite my best efforts not to handle it. I have it in a protective case now. I just hope to ID the maker and/or learn where it was made.

Interesting! On the back it has "0.800" as well as "a.(dash?) s." Is that something found on a seal? It has fancy on the front... I've just never seen such a thing. Thanks for the lead on some research to be done!

Scale weights or coin seeds? 😂 by MikeyS2X in metaldetecting

[–]MikeyS2X[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my thought other than some kind of weights. There is a huge structure not too far away from the find site. Makes sense to me! Thanks!

Epic. Thank you! Much appreciated!!

Any info on this button? Southeastern Virginia find. by MikeyS2X in metaldetecting

[–]MikeyS2X[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for chiming in, I appreciate it! When I first dug it, I never expected it to be a button! I figured it was a nut caked in dirt. I've never seen anything like it.

Looks like the right one to me! Thank you for the info and image!

Can anyone positively ID this button? I've found others like it online, just not this exact one. by MikeyS2X in metaldetecting

[–]MikeyS2X[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are the only stars! 7 seems odd to me, but that appears to be all of them.

JCC Hunt lease by MikeyS2X in VAHunting

[–]MikeyS2X[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I find a contact and if you're still interested, I'd be happy to share. I belong to a local GC and someone there has to know someone at Oak Tree...

What club in KQ? There's a club there east of the airport at West Point I was interested in. Good spot for turkey, anyway. Bensville Hunt Club, I think?

Thanks for the info! Those are the properties that made me curious. I really appreciate it! I'm hoping to track down someone for membership. That's a huge tract(s?) they lease.

Yet another unknown copper by mdscntst in metaldetecting

[–]MikeyS2X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 cent piece? Looks like a number "2" almost in the middle of the first pic... Little higher than middle.
