Civil War hut reveals a Confederate Surprise!!

[dfallis1]

Today a friend from Tnet and I went to one of their well hunted civil war sites. This location is fun but digging conditions not so fun. If you have hunted in the red clay, you know. My buddy had pointed out a few hut locations and had a hunch on a good spot and as always BINGO. Slowly skimming down layers and a few relics, pottery and glass started coming to light. Our first good target was a complete New York button ( not pictured) and a few seconds later a mini popped out. From there we discovered a solid cast Confederate Block I , 4 mini balls, camp lead, 2 New York buttons, under buttons, my first dug percussion cap, J hook, belt clip, ration pieces, and a few others. We had to cut the trip short due to another snow storm but we put in almost 3 hours. We were moving quick LOL thanks for looking GL & HH

Good job. The rectangular thing in the third picture is a "keeper" to a US belt buckle. I've only found one in my life.

I got to hunt with smokey a year ago, and before I get back there ( from indy) you guys will have found all the good stuff

 

[smokeythecat]

Jeff, not likely. We're like nomads and go from site to site and don't try to dig any one out totally. We can have the fun last longer that way.

No worries. The way I hunt, youll have plenty left behind. The season is ending quick, not too many more weekends left.

 

[smokeythecat]

Don't remind me.

 

[Peyton Manning]

there are weekends every week, you guys are too afraid of nature

 

[smokeythecat]

Yes, nature bites, stings and chases us, a lot! I can't do the heat and the bees.

I stepped on a bees nest last season in the woods, NOT fun. I didn't go back in until the first frost LOL

I have to take some of the credit, I DID wish you luck this weekend, just kidding. Congrats, great day of hunting.

Off to a different site today. At this place I will need luck, targets are slim in between but usually good colonial.

Nice selection of finds, liking the button. Best of luck on the next outing.

I like that Block I button. (Solid find).
Congratulations
