Last Friday finds, I believe from the 1850?s.

This was the best I could do on the photos.

A brass number ?5? (bottom part)
A ?Hardy Hat? Eagle pin
The top decoration of a ?Ringold Artillery Hat?
Some item that looks to be a suspender cover

14 buttons.
Eagle over US
Officer button
2 small 'A' buttons
3 ?I? buttons
2 shield buttons
A few small plain buttons

I also found several round balls and a penny dated 1857 (no photo).

Three pipes found by poking and sifting the dirt. One pipe has the name ?Henry Clay? on the base.

A lot of fun to find and show to all.

WOW!!! Them are some great old finds...
As I was reading your post, I thought, what purpose would a guy have by putting his name on a pipe...
I though you were talking about water, or gas pipes until I scrolled down to the pic...
WTG!!!
