Confederate SCRIPT I...1600's Latten Spoon

Hey guys,

Hit quite a few different sites this week and hence the finds stretch from the 1600s to 1853. Among the highlights were a few interesting flat buttons: one large tomac, a 28mm copper, and a split mold 4 hole pewter...first one of its kind that I have dug. From my 4 Reale Cob site came an additional surprise, a damaged but stable 1600s era laden spoon. Ahab's banner is a much better example, but still an interesting dig.



I rounded the week off with Gheenoe78 at our 1812/CW honey-hole and it certainly did not disappoint. The site produced a few flat buttons and an out of place French 1853 5 CENTIMES. No clue how it ended up at the artillery camp, but coins do travel. My favorite find of the day was also my first confederate button- a script I cuff with intact backing. There is some condition issues around the I but its amazing it survived the harsh salt conditions for so long. All I can clearly make out on the reverse is "RICH".



Thanks for looking

I know it is!
Ill trade to 2 war of 1812 RA buttons and 3 eagle I buttons for that COB

Awesome finds man. That French coin is a mystery. Wondering if it had something to do with trade with France during the civil war? Perhaps more common to find currency like that near coastal cities?

Also worth noting that we came very close to bagging the hunt due to a severe lightning storm which just missed us. Glad we decided to stick it out!

Anytime I am on a coastal site I dig anything above iron- chasing the lower grunts always seems to pan out well.
