Bullets Silver and a Spur

[VaMark]

Went out today despite the overcast and drizzle we were getting and had a good day. I managed to get a few nice bullets, several drops, some camp lead,a small buckle, a 1946 Rosie (somewhat out of place in the field) and a Spur, not sure if the spur is CW period or not.

What are your thoughts on the Spur?

Thanks

Nice finds. Looks like your ground is just as dry as where I hunt. Feels like cement in some places.

Thanks.

Believe it or not, we have had a bunch of rain lately I'm talking 4 or 5 inches in Aug alone, this ground is some of the worst soil I've ever hunted. It's like what they call hard pan around here the water does not soak in it just runs off, has a lot of shale in the field, and its very mineralized to boot.

Awesome finds, I believe your spur is Civil War, I dug one a few years back. Great finds bud! I would deffinantly hunt that spot to death!

Excellent finds VaMark! When I get home this evening, I'll look in a couple of my reference books for the spur. But I would agree with peanut - I do believe it's CW period.
