Hello everyone! This is my very first post here on T-net! Glad to be here!
I thought I would show you all some of my finds from yesterday.
I went Civil War hunting with my friends rtde3 & Dickie. We all had a pretty good day.
I found a 1858 flying eagle cent, 2 69 caliber bullets, 1 58 caliber, 1 buck ball, one percussion cap, a underwear button and some kind of ball stud with what looks like a piece of leather still stuck in it. ( if anyone know for sure what this is please let me know)
I also found a piece of glass with some kind of design on it.

Great finds!! I think that ball stud is off a cartridge box or cap pouch, its what holds the flap down on them.

Welcome to a great place. That's the kind of spot I'm talking about.
 

Flying Eagle, one cent, American, United States. After years of experimenting, the mint introduced its new small cent in 1857. 88% copper 12 % nickel. The bird " Old Pete" Which was a mascot of the mintage.This coin came out in 1857 a smaller version of the large cents..
 

Awesome Finds on the Flying cent and the CW relics. I had to buy an 1857 and 1858 flying cent in order to say I have them. :dontknow: You dug yours so that is special in itself. Don't see many of those come out of the ground.
 

Congrats Seabisquit. Nice to see you over here on TreasureNet :icon_thumleft:
