Confederate Bivouac yields Curry Comb & Flat button

[FloodcityTom]

Monday I visited a "Hunted out " Bivouac site used by Confederate guerillas near Martinsburg Wva. I'd been here many times and found lots of relics previously. I decided to see how my Noktra Simplex would do. Not finding a thing after a half hour of searching I headed out. I decided to try one last patch of ground and heard a good hit, a few inches I found a flat button with the eyelet still attached. Found some modern junk too but over by a small tree I got a massive signal. This proved to be a brass and iron curry comb, the type used to curry down a horse after removing the saddle. Just goes to show ya, hunted out area's aren't always "Hunted out"
