Finally got around to makin a new bag to go with my squirrel rifle. Thanks for looking!
I used a poured pewter button that I made along with an old buckle and ring that I found at an old forgotton homesite while metal detecting years ago. Nothing visible to give the homesite away except for some Easter flowers during the spring. Can't help but to wonder if that was their purpose from the beginning but probably not.

They were probably either planted near the house, in a garden, or at a grave. I wonder which...
Either way, that's a cool little story.
And, nice work on the bag and knife, and cool that you're using the old things! :thumb:
 
Yea, you could see the layout of the front of the house with the flowers. They lined the little walkway from the front door. I find most of my old homesites by hunting for Easter flowers during turkey season. Lots of stuff hidden in the ground that pertains to our hobby here and since most of it was made with ferrous metals it can be reused with a little cleaning.
