Eagle Buttons, Cleaning Jag, & CW Bullets on hunt with Dman TODAY

[VOL1266-X]

It was a refreshing 48 degrees and very foggy when Dman and I arrived at the 1862 Yankee camp this morning. Josh couldn’t make it today. We had over 1.5 inches of rain last night and we thought a few deep relics could be recovered.
Doug had the best finds recovering 2 GS eagle buttons with good shanks and in good shape. My best find was the cleaning jag for a Springfield rifle. Each of us dug a button back from an eagle button and several bullets.
Our finds from the hunt this morning are shown on the orange towel with the exception of the 3 cleaned bullets that I dug on a solo hunt there last Friday. It was a beautiful autumn day in Tennessee, Dman didn’t get hurt, and we both dug relics-What’s not to like? HH, from Doug & Quindy.
My CW finds for 2013=290

Do you know what the two iron things, on the top of the pic are. I found the same two things at that camp. I have had not luck finding out what they are.

Thanks Jeff

Jeff, I believe the long piece is from a wagon. Doug found it and we have found them before. The one under it is a clevis that was used to attach the trace chains to a harness hanes on the horse or mules collar. Hard to tell if either is CW or later. HH, Q.
