1864 IH, and some misc relics

[DigIron2]

Had about four hours or so to spare this evening. Didn't find anything to write home about but I caught a 1864 indian that's not in too bad of shape, flat button, lantern piece, couple harness buckles, and what looks like a beat up cosmetic case of some kind? Well if it wasn't beat up before it is now. I tore it apart hoping it might have been holding some coins, but couldn't get so lucky. Nothing very special but had a enjoyable evening. HH everyone, Gl.

Was looking for the L on your 1864 IH. Not seeing it but still a nice early IH recovery. I do the same thing with the makeup compacts when I find them... haven't found any filled with coins yet either.... maybe someday.

Nice early ih bud. You are consistent with pulling some nice keepers. Should be a very good year

Nice solid group of relics. I believe that eye with a stem is a reign guide.

Beauty hunt!

Another very good hunt DI2. I used to find those cosmetic cases often too, but never got anything from them other than nasty clumps of 40 year old powder.

Nice hunt DI2 & looks like a bent knapsack triangle hook on the left. WTG, Q.

I put it under the loop. If it is there it isn't legible. Would have been sweet if it was.

Thanks Ahab. Catch a few things every once in awhile but of course not as much as I would like, lol.

Thanks Joe. Therapy it is too. Always seem to feel rejuvenated after a good hunt, not to mention the work out from all the trash and slaw: And man this place is loaded with it too.

 

[DigIron2]

thanks, I wasn't sure about that piece but I think you are right. All the ones in the books in stuff are always brass, but don't see any reason why they wouldn't be made of steel too.

no it's a skinny, a fatty would have been a little sweeter thow.

Thanks OD, never have lucked out with anything nice in them either, always just a nice old clod of dirt. The mystery of what might be inside is always exciting anyway.

Hey Q. I forgot to mention that one. this place I am hunting was visited by both sides of the war but doesn't seem like they left much behind? Mostly been finding civilian stuff at this place.
