Civil War Buttons, Seated Dime & More!

Boy did I have fun today! I did not plan to go hunting today but it was so nice out I grabbed my F75 & headed out.
I went back to the old homestead spot me & Rob went to the other day. Soldiers used it during the war & it was there years after.
I found an 1889 seated dime, 2 Eagle I buttons (one is bigger than the other), 1 large flat button( I thought it was a large cent at first),
a 54cal 3 ringer, what looks like 2 scabbard parts, and a clip that could be from a garter belt or suspenders, a flattened thimble, 2 oil lamp adjusters, a lead poker chip, part of a spoon and other misc things.
That's all for now catch you next time!

Awesome hunt you had! Seated dimes are an awesome coin to dig! And of course the CW eagle buttons!

Great finds SeaBee!!! I like the dime. The F75 is a good machine. We dug bullets today at 8-11 inches that only read "12" on the displays of our F75s. This was in good, low mineralized soil in a CSA camp that has been hunted hard. HH.
