Ok, it may not be as great as most I see here but it is my first CW relics. The "field Hospital site that a friend of mine told me about, well really wasn't or didn't turn up anything. Talking with some of the other residents there it seems that a CW troop did movce through the area. I didn't find any CW relic or old coins. Feeling a bit disappointed I asked a friend of mine of he wanted to go over to a farm that I had just recieved permission to detect on Sat. After arriving there the owner gave some great historical 411. It used to be a plantation until it burned down in 1902. The place sat dormant for a while. Any way, I did better than expected. One of the bullets has a hole in the top of it where it was carved down to the current shape. As for the buckle, the best info I can find is that it must have been used as a utility strap buckle. The rusted round object appears to be a part of a horses bridle and bit. Now the button has a barely redable part of a U peeking out from under the corrosion. As best I can research it is a Union coat button from the collar. The piece of metal has "G & P VA" on it. Anyone have a clue? Well this place is hudge and more to come (plenty).
