Great Addition to the Civil War Collection!

I went out on a hunt solo, my partner wasn't able to make it. I hit the same spot I have been pounding for the past couple of weekends. I only found a few pieces, pocket watch pieces. After a few hours I moved deeper into the woods. Another couple of hours of wondering around I was ready to call it quits. I was moving a few feet along side of an old road bed when I get a great hit. I dig down and I see it, US, and I knew I had something good. I was re-energized after that, I moved down the hill and found another harmonica reed and an old coin. The coin was very roached out. I did a lot of cleaning and was able to make out Half Cent. Another first for me. I did a lot more cleaning and was able to make out 180_, I couldn't make out the last number. After more cleaning, I think I made it worse, I can't really see the Half Cent anymore.

Looks like this Rosettes was ripped off. I am afraid to try and bend the wire back, it might break off.

To bad it was so rough.

What's left of a small pocket watch.

I found the small shell of a pocket watch already, this time I found the guts to it.

This large flat button has wire of some kind stuck in it, thought it was a little odd.

Thanks for checking it out and HH.

Great finds. If you can still see some detail, look at the reverse of the Half Cent. There were a number of different variations that could help you date the coin. I found one that was hard to see the date, but started to do research and found that I had the stemless wreath variety on the reverse which narrowed down the date range for me.

Very nice set of finds! That rosette is killer, and so if the half cent... plus minie balls. Very well done sir!
