Civil War digs in Virginia

[umrgolf]

Ok, this is my first "real" post in over 2 months. The elbow surgery has had me sidelined for a while now but it was feeling ok today so I decided to head down to one of my trusty Civil war camps (here's a pic of the scar, 1st reply http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,303480.0.html) .. Got a few I've never seen, so feel free to help I.d. a couple of the finds. Feels good to be back HH Jeff


This field had a couple thousand union cavalry troops camped out, for how long I have no idea



.44 colt revolver bullet?, .50 caliber unknown bullet, 5 unknown pistol shot??



2 button backs, 1 general service cuff, 99% sure the "star" button is post civil war (2 piece iron back)



Brass items on top and bottom are unknown??, possible carved Gardiner?, 2 Harris casings, clay pipe stem, chewed 3 ringer

First, knightwalker please enlighten me as to what that meant Thanks to you all and vayank, like Des said, u are an incredible wealth of knowledge.. Thank you and the .50 cal is just like u described, one ring at the bottom with a flat base

Ghostly CW Soldiers Jeff, I think is what he meant. Great Finds and glad to see ya back in the field.

Jeff you are more than welcome. That is the main reason I got on Tnet and some other sites was to help. I've been digging for 40 years and have learned a few things in that time

Nice digging on the Virginia frontier. I would love to see you get back on Colonial sites. Those cut silvers are killer!
