I had a great time this weekend & made some great finds! I went to a late 18th century plantation Friday & a Civil War camp Saturday. While checking a new field near the camp we stumbled on a couple bullets & a pretty productive home site (long gone). My best find was the Horner Military School button, it's been on my bucket list for a while! I recently loaned the county museum 3 items from the school for the bicentennial exhibit & guess I will add this to it! The Civil War token is a first & also a very cool piece of history. The banjo tensioner is also a very neat find. I found a nice assortment of bullets, coins & other relics as well. Can't wait to do it again! horner.png civtok.png banjo.png civsir.png mycoings.png injuns.png sash2.png sash.png my_stuf.png injun.png my_stuf_eh.png

Nice assortment. Love the sash buckle.

Thanks! Both were very mangled when I found them (one almost in a "ball"), glad I took the time to carefully bend them back into shape, they turned out nice considering!

That's awesome that you dug a Horner School button. They don't show up very often and I know how much you wanted one. Congrats!
