SC Civil War Hospital digs!

[umrgolf]

Hey Tnet! Today will go down as one of my top 5 days of digging for sure! Got down to Alan's for 2 weeks of vacation/digging on Thursday.. When I was stationed here 2 years ago we stumbled upon a Civil war hospital and thought we had cleaned it out! YA RIGHT! Decided to head back over to the old stomping grounds today HH Jeff

Cool finds and video. The pistol bullet is a .44 colt and the rivet you dug went to a sword belt rig. I'm not sure of the proper name we always called them spools.

Absolutely. Here's a good photo of the sword belt rig with the large rivets:
