    That broach totally looks masonic, the all seeing eye started in Egypt and was adopted by the freemasons. It could be a book cover decoration or a men's belt buckle but it totally looks like freemasons. That is an awesome find! And all those wonderful buttons; they are so neat! And you guys found a ton of them! So sweet! Thanks for letting us join you on this hunt!❤ Thanks Kyle!

    • @huntingrocks
      @huntingrocks Год назад +3

      I dont think its masonic ( at least nothing I have ever seen in a lodge ) I think it may actually be a ward against the evil eye.
      The symbol of the evil eye dates back as early as 5000 BC in Mesopotamia and has roots in Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu cultures. Its really interesting that it is found across so many different religions and peoples.

    I can't believe how many buttons you found. Especially the white ones. That's crazy, I've watched a lot of treasure hunters, and they have never found that many. Maybe they came from a dress maker. I have never seen so many buttons in one place.

    Hi Kyle! I think that it's amazing that relic hunting is acknowledged nowadays. I've done it all my life (I'm 64) as I was raised on a West GA farm that was over 100 yrs old. Back then, they used trash to fill in ditches. Farm equipment, old jars, broken jewelry, clothing, broken appliances, toys etc. As a kid who was 7 yrs younger than my sister and 9 yrs between my brother and I, I roamed our 55 acres in search of arrowheads and relics of the past. My parents couldn't understand my desire to dig into the dirt and find all that "junk". Thank you for letting me know that there are others like me!! I love all your videos!✌️❤️

Turned out very beautiful. U guys have a great find. Stay safe and God bless

  • @ccccarriemchardy9216

    Black buttons are called jet mourning buttons. Early plastic is celluloid and rubber is vulcanise. The eye plate could be from fancy horse tack, given its age.

  • @pretzeltime3900
    @pretzeltime3900 Год назад +7

    That piece with the 5 black glass stones in it (and the space for another stone) looks possibly like a mourning brooch. They were worn when someone you loved passed away and you were mourning their death. I’d say Victorian era. Lots of great buttons Kyle!

  • @JoLaCasse-y4l
    @JoLaCasse-y4l Месяц назад

    Fun video! I think that little "wheel-shaped" button was "tatted" - a form of knit/crochet using a thread instead of yarn. Lace was also tatted. 💞

  • @dianestolp3252
    @dianestolp3252 Год назад +7

    I would love to see all these relics after they are cleaned up. I also watch a channel called "Northern Mudlarks" and I'm always surprised to see how beautiful everything is after a good cleaning. I also thought I saw a few beads in the dirt. These old beads may be from the 18th century and are called trade beads or some are czech beads. Maybe you could do a little research on some of those items and let us know what you find out. Sooo interesting. Great video!

    That silver looking eye might have been a badge from a feternal organization and it might have hung on a ribbon. Just a guess, but the black glass are
    morning buttons. The are call French jet. A lot less expensive item than a jet button. The thing you all found are awesome. Thanks for sharing it with us. CL😊

    I know this is wrong to say these days, but it’s true… iv never seen a GUY love buttons SO much and I’m SOOOO envious right now! Iv been collecting buttons for years, metal military and other metal buttons are my weakness but I’m beginning to like glass now since watching you get so excited when you find those😊. Iv got tubs and tubs that I just throw buttons in when I find jars, tins, and etc at estate sales etc.. Anyway, I just went hiking in the mountains of Mammoth Ca with my husband and son and I found old miner’s buttons etc in the middle of no where.. Talk about making my whole day. I enjoy your videos. Makes me wish I was younger.. God Bless.

    I would think that with as many buttons an suspender clips you guys are finding i believe you guys might be where an old paper mill may have been located. They would have people bring in old jackets,shirts an what ever clothing they would want to get rid of an they would shred then into threads to mix in with the paper they would produce. Congrats on all your finds.😁👍

    All those "shell" buttons were from a USA freshwater river mollusk, that was hunted to extinction.
    They would use crude diving bells, even a mop pail over the head, with air pumped in to harvest them!
    Those buttons were still being made, 1940's -50's!
