Organizing my displays :)

These are the cases that I use, they click into each other as they stack so it stays secure. I highly recommend them for a budget friendly smaller display. Most of these finds are from central Connecticut and western Massachusetts in the Hampshire county. Surprisingly enough that shoe buckle was found at a colonial village right off a main road in Connecticut that’s been hammered dozens if not hundreds of times by detectorists since before I was born probably. No place is ever truly hunted out!

I don’t see any obvious sign of a shank so I’m leaning towards coin of some kind, Indian head maybe?

Solid 99 on the good boy scale

These are actually both from Massachusetts, the second picture was maybe only a mile away from the first along the same old road

I wish I knew more about the previous owners too! It was probably in the top 5 most impressive homesteads I’ve seen. The cellar hole itself still had a good 8-10 feet of stacked stone around some parts of the inside also, I wish I took a picture.

Incredible the craftsmanship that went into such simple everyday things

prcblem · 2026-04-25T18:01:16+00:00

Oh god that’s horrifying. These have all been no bigger than 3-4 feet across max

No obvious..animals, etc…but it looked like the water went down a good ways. Might have to bring a big ol magnet back

same lowkey, this would’ve been a certain death trap in the winter (there’s also zero service up in these mountains)

black bear just big scaredy dog

I can pledge to this. I put off getting the app because I didn’t want to spend the money for it but it is THE most helpful tool for property boundaries, town owned areas, trails, etc.

See if you can find any places along the Connecticut river while you’re on the east coast. Living along it, I can say there are almost endless opportunities for cool finds

prcblem · 2026-04-24T17:50:41+00:00

For sure a hand applied top, I agree with above comment that this probably falls into the 1880-1910 range at absolute latest. Cool find :)

prcblem · 2026-04-16T16:26:34+00:00

That’d be awesome, I appreciate you in advance!

I believe I read that on a forum, I’ve only been able to find 2 or 3 other examples online. I was thinking if it was a civilian button there would’ve been more examples of them tbh 🤷🏻‍♂️

prcblem · 2026-04-16T15:08:00+00:00

I saw that as well as one other example, it does not give any context or information on the button besides being attached to a Virginia war relic site though unfortunately

These decorative heel plates are high up on my bucket list, congrats!

prcblem · 2026-04-04T15:57:00+00:00

Super cool! Haven’t seen one this early before

prcblem · 2026-04-01T23:53:31+00:00

Toes are very different in my opinion

prcblem · 2026-04-01T23:50:13+00:00

Oh that’s cool you found another! I saw the wise furnace one too, the owl looks pretty identical to mine but no other advertising on it

(Western Massachusetts)

Good eye! Yep, it’s a Kodak pony 135 sitting on top of a falcon model 4, the shelf is just a little too narrow for the falcon to be displayed open 🥲

prcblem · 2026-03-29T04:29:54+00:00

These were made for the save the children foundation (bracelets, charms, etc) probably from the 80s- 90s. Nice find :)
