A Little Civil War History Saved & A Pewter Play Cup

My buddy Chris & I went to a field adjoining a Civil War camp yesterday to try to save a little history. The field is loaded with aluminum. Whoever plowed it 20 years ago was drinking beer on the tractor... We found a small pocket of relics in the field. I found 2 bullets & piece of knapsack hook. Chris had better luck & pulled 6 or 7 bullets. We were planning to go to another site after lunch with some exciting history but got stood unfortunately... I also found a pewter child's toy cup & a piece of saddle hardware. It was a tough day but managed to save a little history! This is a great site in the fact we know who was there & the exact day in 1865.

It sure is colonial and its a very cool find. I found an area that had a cup and 3 plates or saucers... also many marbles. It must have been where the kids played in the yard. Great hunt man.

3 of use pulled silvers, Tom was the 1st to score with a silver clown pendant, then I hit a 40% Kennedy half and then smittyman pulled a 1943 merc right in front of us when we were getting ready for the group pic.
