I meet BB at Hillend last week and had a good time found a few good old finds no gold but I now know where to swing when I go back

Old tent peg knife spoon and nails etc.
On the way home called into Hargraves found a 1947 threepence nails bullet shells 47 bullits in one hole and they where still coming need to do some home work on them as they where usual but the best was an old navy button

Wow Roy you did some digging well done. Nice button find :Y:

Am guessing that it is a Bristish merchant navy button, dated from the early 1900's.

Here's a couple that look of a similar design.
