I did a quick relic hunt this morning. My goal was a musketball, a button, a buckle and a coin. I got all except for the coin. The musketballs are French and English from a battle site here in my area from the early 1700's. The .69 cal is French and the .75 cal is English.

The button is colonial and there is a mark on the back but I can't read it yet...the front is bare. The buckle is pretty modern I think.

Good digs romeo. I haven't found a musket ball in a year. I got to git out and hunt down a new fort site.
