This is the results of a large 2 week dig with 3 guys digging 3-5 hours a evening. The results will speak for them selves.

Totals- 2 plates- a US, and a unidentified one
25 CS Buttons
2 CS saddle shields (unmarked)
2 reales- a one and a half
A pile of coins including Indian head pennies, large cents, a few shield nickels and 2 centers
And all the usual stuff flat buttons random brass and bullets

This was a incredible site that is now unhuntable. I hope you enjoy.

Do you find many coins with HOLES in them ? They tend to pop up here more often I have heard a theory that Union Men would Hole a coins so they could run a string through them and wear about their neck so the did not loose them Just curious ?

Just one 1887 Indian head penny with a hole. Which is kinda strange. None of the 10 or so large cents had holes. We didn't find any period seated coins or bust coin. But I do feel we might have missed them do to the large amount of targets and short amount of time.

I feel your pain buddy. The virgin confederate camp I had adjacent to my property I have hunted for the last 10 years is now covered up by chicken houses and a haul road in between each one. Luckily I had permission to hunt it as they dozed off layers of dirt to replace with fill. So sad to see history get covered up in this way but that's what u and I and all the other detectorists are here for. Saving the history so others may learn.

Thanks. This used to be the norm in The 70's but not any more. I don't think most folk here understand the once in a life time kinda spot this is.
