I have been on vacation this week and finally got the chance to get out and do some relic hunting (or diggin as my wife calls it). I have been hunting an old town site that is also a civil war camp. This is the first photo that I have posted on this site so forgive me for the lousy quality. Included are, a 1833 dime, a 1898 Indian cent, a confederate staff officers cuff button (rare). a confederate "I" button, 2 union infantry buttons, small shield says "union", a "J" hook, end of a spur, assorted bullets and small buckles, a union belt buckle that is in pieces, and a 1971 kennedy half ?????. There is also a lot of small brass and copper and a lot of who knows.
By the way I found the arrow head while walking a plowed field.
Good Diggin

great find relicreb!! I would love to detect (or as my wife calls it also....dig) at a civil war site. I'm from the northeast and we didn't have the CW up by us, but we did have the Revolutionary War. Now if I could just find a button that came off of George Washington's coat, I would probably die on the spot and my wife and kids would sell my detectors with the button!

Excellent relic digs! What better way to spend some vacation time than out in the field.Too bad about the Union belt buckel.It's rare to find one completely intact.All the other great finds make up for it though. That 1833 Capped Bust is a beauty. Best of luck to you. HH!
