Seminole war fort finds

[DiggingFl]

Went back out to the fort site this afternoon for a few hours. I didn't find to much for the first hour or so, just some trash and a few buckshot. But then found a U.S. cuff button in real nice shape. First button off this site. Also found a most of a brass spur. And the last hole of the day turned up a musket ball. So all and all not a bad afternoon.

Probably not that old but also found this button that's a copy of a Maria Theresa taler.



Good luck everyone thanks for looking.

I'm sure the photos are lovely.


I'd like to see the spur, that would be so exciting to find. Congrats on the finds.

I was surprised myself how well the button had held up. This fort was only around less than a year so I know it was lost in 1839. It was in some very clean white sand and I guess that's what preserved it so well.
