Cape Pins, Buckles, and Bullets - final shots of my better finds

[*Dig-Dug*]

OK I'll finish off my Best CW relics in this thread. For you Buckle Boy here is The George McClellan Cape Pin that I use for my Avatar and a profile shot. This was recovered from a Winter Hut site in Stafford, VA in the Union Camp known as the Walnut Grove.



This one identified in Howard Crouches relic book is of an unknown General. Personally, I think it looks a like Benjamin Butler with a goatee and a little more hair. This one was also found in the Walnut Grove

Riflemans buckle (unmarked) - recovered from what is now known as salem Fields in Spotsylvania, VA

US Buckle (puppy paw keepers) - Smith Farm, Smith Station Rd, Spotsy, VA

US rosette -

Kepi Bugle - It was folded several times when found. Got it open with out breaking it

Rhode Island Pendant - not sure if it's CW but was found at the site of Lee's blocking maneuvers on Catharpin road

Spencer Cartridge - Both pieces found in same hole - reassembled for display

Another Bit Boss

Beauty of a Breast Plate

.73 Cal (much bigger than a .69 - unknown Confederate Variant - I say Confederate because it was found A Moss Neck which was the Winter HQ's of Stonewall Jackson following the first battle of Fredericksburg, VA

I found a few loose pieces laying around - not near as nice as I've been posting but, then again, any CW relic is a prized possession

Wow, incredible finds! I love those cape fastener pieces. Nice .69 Austrian too, I was lucky enough to find three pristine ones together in the woods one summer, they are hard to come by in any condition. I think I posted them on the relic forum a year or so ago.
