‘The Railroad’ Overalls Button
– I also found these other overalls buttons.
Tuf Nut Overalls Button – Eurotek Pro Find
The overalls button was found at an old homesite in an area that hasn’t produced much in the past. The Eurotek Pro metal detector found it easily at around 6 inches deep. The Tuf Nut Garment Company produced overalls, pants, shirts and “autoals” for the working man. The garments were proudly made of 100% southern cotton. Circa 1930 – 1970.

Shirley President Suspender Buckle
Believe it or not, I actually wanted to find one of these Shirley President suspender buckles. They are a neat find and I was happy to dig this one!
This Pig was a Neat Find
This pig is heavy but I have no idea what it was used for?

Good Luck “Coin” w Nail?
This coin or token has a nail through it and leads me to believe that it may have been nailed to a door or doorframe. I found it within feet of a door at an old homestead.

Great Hunt and cool finds! I think the pig is a large toy…we have found small ones but nothing that big! Very cool! Thanks!
Yeah, a weird find, but I did find it where an old school once was. It may very well be an old toy! Thanks for the comment and tip!
I just found a Smith’s Pride button…found on the back “patented Dec 1824” Any info about this?
Hi BJ, where can I see a picture of it?
That’s some really nice finds. I just got back into detecting and magnet dragging. In the last nine months I have accumulated thousands of relics, alot of which I’m not sure what they are. Nice to see a wall that looks like mine.
