CW bullets & Small soldier

I hit the plantation after work for a few hours today. No coins today, just lead.
My finds were:

*Small lead soldier w/some paint still on it.

*3-ringer

*Enfield (?)

*Lead shot.

*Small buckle.

*Large rusty iron whatsit with a brass piece attached.
Any idea on this one. It was DEEP!!!

Thanks,
MM

Doug, that site is still yielding the artifacts. I see at least one more Spanish reale and a few coppas at that site.

Keep the fever high, man!

Re: CW bullets & Small soldier

That lead soldier has to be from the early 20's--since it represents a WWI Doughboy--great find.

Good pictures.

Thank you for Sharing

Wouldn't that be funny if I come down for one hunt and get the "best" coin from the site?!

Still, you are finding some nice keepers. Very sweet with the bullets and soldier.

I'll be darned if that doesn't look like a saddle horn off a toy horse! Nice finds hoss.

Hey MM, at least your lead soldier is completely intact. I keep finding just the heads of soldiers or soldiers without legs!! LOL

Great finds.

I think your iron/brass piece is from a draft horse harness. the brass piece looks like where the reins came through.

Looks like we are in agreement!

The small, thin, brass buckle I'm 99% certain is a Kepi Buckle. Nice CW find there too!

Re: CW bullets & Small soldier

Love the soldier! I've found pieces of a few, but nothing as intact as that one. Keep at it, and Bob's Reale might seem like a mere token!

Yes, I'm quoting myself LOL! I just wanted to underscore the fact that I have never found a kepi buckle--with all of the different CW spots I have hunted. Never. The last one found was recovered by Kindafoundabuckle. So--great find, buddy! I'd take that over a bullet anyday...well, except for a complete dropped Shaler

Now I'm gonna have to sue myself for copyright infringement.
