Had an hour or so this afternoon. Hit a spot I’ve hit 6-8 times. Apparently I’ve walked over a bunch of stuff in my short career.

General service (scoville) eagle in less than pristine shape, cool little civilian cuff button, dress/drapery wt, harmonica pieces, sleigh bell (with dinger still inside), bra/garter buckle (I think) and something marked “us” which eludes me.

Things were ringing up very odd today…..eagle came up as a 28 on the nox 900…..a pull tab is 39. Maybe that’s the reason I’ve walked over things…..

Any ideas on the us piece would be appreciated.

I think it's a lock cover

The US piece is definitely the face of a padlock. Congrats !

For you and Nathan…..any ideas on time frame? Lots of civil war activity at the site, but also found ww1 items as well. Is it military, postal, other?

I would think by that style of font it's civil war era. Someone else may know if it was used by soldiers or not
