[QUOTE="Dutchy, post: 301923, member: 2211"] Been told the ones I've found were opium lids also. The button is a typical pants/shirt button from the era. Some think they are junk but I love finding them especially with the writing advertising stores on them. You mentioned belt buckle, do you mind posting a pic of it? Go out from the stones piles (fire hearths) about 50 m and work your way back in. If you have a higher ended detector like a CTX or Deus you may be able to pick out some good stuff among all that ferrous junk. Remember if others have been there they normally just hunt around the stones piles. Look for the depressions on the down side or about 50 m away. They are most likely the trash pits and will contain some good stuff if untouched. I spent a few years in the mid to late 90's detecting several Ovens (Beechworth) Goldfields and learned a bit.
