Re: Cleaned out the scrap bucket ~ found a nice eagle surprise!
Just proves that knee pads, gloves and a shovel are not always required to find cool stuff. Well done!

Seems odd you would throw any button in the scrap bucket.
Nice one

Agreed. Doesnt make much sense to me either. Unless your one of those old CW diggers that threw away eagle breast plates after digging 20 or 30 of them.

Ha! It wasn't intentional that's for sure. I never put any keepers in my digging pouch, only the crap and scrap. Maybe it was in a clump of dirt with foil or something and I never seen it? 
Happy Hunting!

Re: Cleaned out the scrap bucket ~ found a nice eagle surprise!
It is great that you went back through the trash to double check. I am certain that there are many desirable and valuable items tossed out by detectorists every year because they don't recognize them immediately. The items you retrieved are obviously keepers...but things like tent rope tighteners, tompions, gun tools, shell fragments, artillery fuses and friction primers, and musket pieces and parts from side plates to trigger enclosures and barrel rings...these are just a few of the Civil War items that are highly desirable that probably get tossed out by some.
The list gets much larger when we add Housesite finds, Colonial stuff, Rev War, etc.
That's why I always promote folks posting photos of everything they dug--even the bits--on the forum. Several sets of eyes are always better than one pair when it comes to that stuff, and there are lots of folks on here with vast knowledge to share.
Congrats on saving those keepers from the bin, and Happy Hunting,
Buckles
