Civil War, Silvers, all kinds of stuff

[smokeythecat]

I have been digging 3 of the last 5 days. I finally got most of the good stuff cleaned up and the trash removed.

I went to three sites, so here goes...most of the stuff hasn't been cleaned up much. Buttons will need to be preserved.

Eagle buttons including a cuff eagle I.

J hook, Sharps bullets, etc.

Melted silver 12 grams. Who knows what it was, probably a coin.
A few nice CW nails

Charcoal from a Civil War campfire! How cool is that!

And some coins. Coins are from 3 different sites. Capped bust 1820 dime, Spanish 1 reale from a different place 150 miles away, and two war nickels from my friend's CW front lawn. With two modern nickels. Who would have thought?

I'm going at least two more times this week! Thanks all. The melted silver was a surprise for sure. It is NOT aluminum. Was dug right next to an eagle button and knapsack hook.

Thanks. It's getting tougher and tougher. It's been a long time since I dug so many eagle buttons in one day.
