Bullets, Buttons, and Canister Shot: Civil War Camp Finds

[Dman]

I have not been able to hunt very much lately. My employee ate some bad peanut butter and crackers, resulting in Salmonella. I was able to get out last week for a couple of hours. We, Vol1266-X and I, went back to Button Hill. This is where we have dug up over 20 Eagle buttons. I was able to add one more to my collection. I also dug up a nice .69 caliber bullet and assorted camp fire lead.


I escaped this morning with Vol1266-X for a few hours. I thought it was going to be a pretty good day, because within the first 5 minutes we both dug a piece of canister shot. I was able to retrieve two .54 caliber bullets, four more pieces of canister shot, a .36 caliber pistol bullet, a carved .54 caliber bullet, and part of a Civil War picture frame. Vol1266-X found a finial from a cap box, plus assorted canister shot. I hope my employee gets well soon.

My employee has had a relapse and has become very sick. Please keep her in your prayers.
