Great Civil War Relic Day

[ekeisler]

This is probably my best day of hunting since I began almost 3 years ago. About half the signals were relics and the other half was aluminum. It's always a good day if the amount of military buttons is the same as the amount of flat buttons. 4 military buttons! 2 General Service eagles, my 1st SC button (postwar 3 piece), and my 2nd eagle I (this time with gilt left)! Also got the half reale laying on top of the ground in the plowed field! How crazy?! Also got my 1st Williams Cleaner, my 1st and 2nd Washington Arsenal star base minie balls, my first kepi buckle and my 1st King George the 2nd half penny!

The half reale laying on top of the ground!!!

Eagle I with gilt left! WH Smith & Co New York Backmark!

1st Washington Arsenal Star Base!

1st Williams Cleaner!


Postwar SC button with gilt! My first!

The back of what would've been a great button! Schuyler Hartley & Graham New York.


Half reale that was laying on top of the ground!

Other finds include: kepi buckle, porcelain doll leg, harmonica reed part, 2 large flat buttons and 2 small ones, 2 cast net weights, overall button, GS eagle button (Evans & Hassall backmark), GS eagle button (Scovill Mfg Co Waterbury backmark), high based .58 cal minie, key hole cover for a padlock.
Thanks for looking! Happy Hunting!

It's been hunted countless times! Just got plowed the other day. We have estimated that hundreds of buttons have come from that site. A couple plates too!

Nice variety right there.... too bad that SC had to be smashed up a bit but at least you were able to recover and ID it.
