New Treasure Hunter

[oxfordpete]

Two weeks ago, I burrowed my mother-in-law's Bounty Hunter Pioneer 202. Started hunting around in the woods where I work and live in Oxford, GA, home of Oxford College of Emory University. Some of our buildings were used as civil war hospitals, and I know some cavalry from both sides ran around here. Anyway, here is some things I've been finding. Thought the knife was pretty interesting. A couple people have said some it could be civil war era...Any thoughts?

Welcome to TNet. I am not knowledgeable about knives, but they do look old. With that kind of history in the area, you are looking at some good hunting grounds.
