button and bling....

[Digger]

Temps hit 47 degrees here today. So I wandered out to an old abandoned farm site to swing the E-TRAC and EQ2. Passed up a lot of iron, and found a couple keepers. I believe the button might be an Indian Wars Staff Button. On the back is says Horstmann and PHILAD. After PHILAD, it has a smaller A with two dots under it. I found the dime earlier, but put it in this pic for size comparison. The bling is likely cut glass. But who knows? Guess I'll clean it up and look for some markings. Good to get out and blow the stink off! HH Randy
