1842 Springfield Butt Plate and relics !!
4-18-11 Welcome Back to the Yankee camp I started searching last year . Friday was a windy nightmare so I bagged it and started Sat and was rained out after a few finds . Sunday was a decent day and produced something I have been searching for but has eluded me .
Finally after countless hours and briers , ticks , and doggone varmits of every nature .............. a New Jersey militia cuff button 
8) also some other firsts .. NY State Militia coat button with the back missing but nice gilt , General Staff coat button " found a few of these " in the past . The 1265 X is the relic hound dog of the M scope series , there is no doubt this thing loves brass , it also likes square nails :P After a few shotgun tops it will target a button more shell tops but I keep them ...some are hard to find like an 8 guage . The iron Springfield butt plate was 6-9 inches deep and near a large concentration of iron . This one is another first , I found an 1853 Enfield brass butt plate and trigger guard and a colonial Brown Bess brass ,butt plate in the past { posted on TN } I pulled another hump back buckle and some nice lead . No minis but I did get some more musketballs and some unknown that I will get on later " ran out of attachments" . Two toasted large coppers , one 1860's shield nickel and a brass eagle emblem 
not sure what this was riveted on to , no marks on this eagle & 4" in length , a broken anchor solid brass Navel hat badge or medal , harness boss , harp parts , lots of flat buttons , gilted emblem , rosette and rivets . Two cans of Deep Woods , 6 mini ticks but I love this place . The cellar hole produced the most amount of these relics . It must have been a mansion.
