G'day to all..
I had the opportunity this weekend to do some detecting work on private property at Majors Creek which has history of the gold rush and Chinese working the area.
Found a hot spot with a lots of square nails and what looks to be rivets and in one spot we pulled out of the one hole three brass buttons (badly deteriorated) , so we are trying to get a time line. One button is looks to have some wording on one side that looks like
Crowley & Co. or possibly CR Owley & Co. or CP Owley and Co.
Can also just make out some more text that looks like
Tent
On the other side there looks to be text that says
London, the letter L is a guess as but defiantly the "ondon" is legible
Sorry about the quality of the pictures, any help greatly appreciated..
Is anyone on the forum able to assist in IDing these button so we can get a bit of a time line?
