Today I went out to some woods that I have returned to time and time again. Nothing special about the area other than it is not very far from Camden, SC. Not a great showing today but still managed a few keepers. A flat button, pewter with no marks and broken shank. Rimfire cartridge, small caliber. Some chunks of iron, three shotgun shells, and a buckshot that doesn't have a white patina, but another lead bullet with a white patina. It all started with me eyeball finding a no-date buffalo nickel in my front yard this morning! Don't know where it came from or how it got there, maybe my youngest was carrying it and dropped it. But it got my spirits up and my motivation to go!
Some previous finds from the past few months of the same area are on the next pics: 2 flat buttons, one two-piece with shanks intact but no markings, a ramrod channel from a musket, a thimble (first for me), a piece of ornamental copper maybe from a clock or picture frame?, possible scabbard tip, and an unidentified piece of copper or bronze that could be part of a coin, and my oldest identified find to date: 1 bit from an 8 Reale with identifying marks. I believe it to be a 1768 Mexico City. Any further assistance from you experts out there would be appreciated. Prior to this find, my oldest coin to date was a 1910 wheatie! Gotta make time to get back out there and find the rest of it! Keep your coil to the soil and happy hunting!
