After a promising spot did not pan out as expected and a door knock on a suspected Rev War era settlers fort site received a "let me think about it and talk to wife" I was resigned to chase iffy signals at pounded sites again. The highlight being the one piece eagle artillery in crappy condition.
Front and back of the artillery button. You can barely see the A on the shield,
Other buttons and an oil lamp wick adjuster with an 1865 patent date
I also found a brass handled American Knife pocket knife (top). These are often found in Civil War camps. I found the one on the bottom on a Civil War site in West Virginia.
Hopefully I can come up with some more "post worthy" material over the Thanksgiving holidays - weather and landowners permitting
