A few relics from an 1850's fort site.

I met up with a couple of T-netters today for a relic hunt at a fort that was occupied from the early 1850's to the early 1860's, unfortunately Jimzz had to cut his hunt short due to a plumbing problem. He did manage to score a couple of nice relics before he had to head out. I started out using the CTX, but, due to the excessive amount of iron, I ended up using the Equinox which performed wonderfully. This was my first time to hunt here, so, I wasn't sure what to expect, but, it turned out better than I thought. Ended up with a nice assortment of finds, the better ones were the Eagle button and the medallion thing with the guys face on it. Not sure, but, we think it may have had a ribbon attached through the eyelets on each side. I believe next time I'm back, I'll use the 6" coil on the Eqhinox to try and work through the iron a little easier than the 11"

Thanks everyone for your nice comments, we're heading back out there Thursday to give it another go around.

Nice finds! Congrats! I'm dying to know what that is! At first I thought it was a coin purse clasp but the holes are wrong.
