2nd day hunt of CW hospital and more unbelivable finds

cwdigger · Feb 5, 2009

Ok well I told yall I would post todays finds as well, me and bobby went back to the old civil war hospital again today but this time only got about 6 hours in. We came out with some really nice finds today as well, this field just keeps producing again and again. Well where should I start.

Bobby had a wonderful day he came out with quite a few firsts he got a couple of harmonica reeds again,smashed 3 ringer,some more beutiful style suspender clips,quite a few more buttons one inparticular we need some iding on it has a plain flat front but has an eagle holding a shield with an anchor in the shield no letters :icon_scratch:

.

While I was talking to adam on the phone he bobby pulls a beutiful 1865 2 cent piece out then not even 20 minutes later a very very nice 1864 bust half dime

I could not belive it. So that put my day down hill a little until.......

It was getting late and I had a couple of buttons myself, 2 gadners one with a concave back and the other a flat bottom, and a bunch of other misc. stuff, then I dug a NC Starburst button it is missing the shank on the back but is still nice.

All in All we both had a great day again,and there is still so much more to be found out there. Bobby you get a BIG :thumbsup:

from me. congrats buddy.

thanks for the close ups. I found that a cheap magnifying lens in front of computer does wonders. Just remember to focus on the back of the camera. Saved me buying an expensive camera.

what I used to use before I got my better camera, was a 10X jeweler's loupe infront of my lens, with the camera in macro mode (the little yellow flower) on your camera. Try it, it works like a charm. I don't use that camera anymore, my new camera has Super Macro mode...........NGE Oh, and nice finds..........NGE

That was a awesome day,that is a very nice NC Button (they are very seldom found with a shank)
The eagle with a shield button is a very nice find also,I found one a few weeks ago but mine didn't have the shank
Congrats on all of the CW era relics :thumbsup:

Wow! Awesome digs!

I'm headed to Tennessee in March to a private farm that is a hundred acres or so and the site of civil war activity. Permission granted and ready to go. Hope I can find just one tenth of the goodies you all find!

Congrats!
