Hello T-Net'ers,
I just returned from Texas late last night after spending the past week visiting friends in Dallas. While there, I managed to get 5 hours of digging in on an 1850s US Military camp with my good friend Bob and another friend of his, Charles. I managed to find 10 minie balls, 4 round balls, 5 eagle buttons, 4 four hole buttons, a piece of shoulder scale, and a broken padlock key cover. My best find was a eagle "R" riflemans cuff button. Bob dug some round balls and a couple buttons, most of a Jeff Davis hat badge, plus his best finds; a multi ring Sharps tie ring bullet - which he gave to me since I had been trying to dig one for years He also dug a real neat pipe tamper, but he hit it with his shovel and about bent it in half . Charles best find was a perfect US Rosette.
Pic 1 - Total finds for all 3 of us minus Bob's hat badge. My stuff at the top.
Pic 2 - My finds, group shot
Pic 3 - My eagle buttons
Pic 4 - My Rifleman's button
