Awesome civil war relic hunt today

[treasurehound]

I was invited to go hunt some private property today that had some Civil War activity on it. It was my best relic hunt so far. I found 5 three ringers, 1 round mini ball, a really nice rifle band with the sling swivel, 1 nice eagle button, 1 two piece button that had the top piece fall to pieces when removed from the hole (I was being very careful but it was very brittle), 1 small two hole shirt button, 13 old shotgun shells, 1 whole horseshoe and 1 partial, 1 rim fire shell casing larger than .22, 1 piece of a pocket watch and an old tin lid. Also found several old square nails and about a 12" long nail or something and a grommet.

Congrats on the CW finds. The eagle button looks like it still has some gold gilt on it.

Congratulations on your Civil War finds. Looks like you are now officially a Relic hunter. Some of the horseshoes have U S stamped into them.

Again, nice haul!!

Thanks Mike. It truely was a hot spot. It was in the middle of the woods and most seemed to be in one area. I am thinking it may have been a camp. He was a great host and I need to pay him back big time. I hope that when we take him to one of our sites we have a very productive day as well.

Your pictures are great! Nice and clear. Nothing better than a handful of relics to get you motivated.
