Those are some awesome finds. Did you find much trash or was the area pretty clean. Farms generally have a lot of iron all over the place

Hi Landuse, Fishless,Luuk.

Thanks for the replies.

This part of the farm is pretty clean a far as trash is concerned. I do find parts of three legged pots. (Dutch ovens?)
Any idea why and how the US buttons ended up in the Cullinan/Kameelfontein area? This button, like the others I found can be dated back to 1902.

Regards,
Wilhelm

Nice finds Wilhelm.  Are these finds all on a old farm around the house?
