Civil War Finds from the Siege of Suffolk

[{Sentinel}]

Hey Guys. This is my latest finds from a Lil honey hole of a site that saw action as part of the Peninsular Campaign. What's funny, is the first 5 bullets that I dug were

each a different bullet; the first was a big boy .69 Belgian, than a Merrill, a Spencer, musketball, than a Swage Minie ( Also found another nice-sized lead Case shot that

even dwarfs those big .69s)! I thought that was pretty funny being that that doesn't happen very often.

I've been on a "Eagle Button" drought over the past month digging mostly flat buttons and War of 1812 era buttons but I was happy with the day's finds and

hopefully I'll pick back up the "scent" of those Eagles. In the meantime, thank for looking and good luck to my friends who'll be going to DIV See Y'all

There!










Group Shots:Include a Spencer, 2 .69s, 2 Swage (a 5 and a 6 point), Gardner (not pictured as its already in my bullet display), J Hook, Knapsack Hook, Kepi Buckle, Toe Tap, etc.

Great finds! I kinda wish we had some Civil War action here on Long Island, but then again, I hate to think what might have happened if the Confederacy had make it this far north.
