[DirtyMike]

Thanks everyone!

 

[SwampHunter]

Very nice!

What is the hook shaped item between the coin and the trigger assembly to the left? I found one at a picket post and have never found out what it is.

Great finds Mike.
Congrats on that fine looking silver coin. I know most folks don't like a holed coin due to the value lost, but to me they really mean more than one that isn't holed. It must of meant a great deal to someone in those days.

Can I ask what it says on the oval tag in the upper left of one of your pictures?
I found a similar one from the 1930's that said something like, "Property of........, If found please return to........Reward offered."

Thanks,

Its a Masonic id tag. It says please return to H. Robinson, Atlanthus, Va.

Lets put it this way. I feel like I walked every square inch of that property. But alot of my finds came from the same side of the road as HQ, strait back to the cedar trees, and below "button hill". How was your luck?

 

[Curious The George]

I bet that coin was given to a son by his mother and father. With instructions, "Now Son, you keep this and when the fighting is over you use it to get yourself back home."

So they put it on a string around his neck so he wouldn't loose it. That plan didn't work.

There is an area near Brandy Station VA called Atlanthus. I checked and couldnt' find anyplace called Atlanthus in Va so it could be the place near Brandy.
