Vol1266X and I were finally able to get out after a long, cold, snowy spell. We went one of my favorite spots where I had already found several Eagle buttons. I was only able to pull one Eagle cuff button and 3 button backs. I also retrieved two .69 caliber bullets and one .31 caliber round ball and I think a .25 caliber pistol bullet. I then found a bunch of campfire lead. After lunch, we sent to another spot where we have been able to dig iron canister shot. I unearthed 7 pieces of iron canister shot, a carved bullet, a .25 caliber pistol bullet, and a flat button. Vol found a nice gold coin that he has posted here in TNet. I believe it should be a banner find! I plan on soaking my buttons in olive oil for the next few months to see how they turn out. Thanks for looking.
