Amazing weekend of digging Civ

[Jacobsdt]

I couldn't hit my normal 150 acres of woods, a lot of hunting going on. I caught wind of some property being cleared for a new development. I drove on Friday evening and caught one of the guys clearing the property and asked about doing some relic hunting. He said it shouldn't be a problem. I showed up Saturday morning before the sun came up. I started finding stuff just walking in. After a few hours, a lot of relic hunters showed up. One guy I spoke with explained there was a really old house site on the property and a lot of civil war troops camped in the area being right next to some train tracks.





I'm guessing its a Pigeon band, I need to find the age, G55BKNA87.

Anyone seen this button before? Maybe pre-civil war.

A lot of eagles, some didn't survive the bulldozers very well.

I lost this button for a few until I realized it was stuck to the shovel

That's a crazy bullet, slightly melted. I found a lot of melted led.

Found a lot of flat buttons, one silver and 3 still had the gilt on the backs.

A few buckles.

One guy was lucky enough to find a box plate and few others found large cent pieces. I can't seem to find a large cent, some day! Thanks for looking, HH.

Great hunt!

Please take the next two days off from work and clean the area out, once the development is built hunting will be limited.

I wish I could, but they are still clearing and we can't go in while they are working. They aren't working on the weekend, which is why I spent about 14 hours there this past weekend. I need to take a day off from the weekend, I am worn out.
