CW Finds on The Ridge

[tymcmurray]

Joe and I got out to Confederate Ridge and the finds
were a little slow coming. There is SOOOO much property.
It's hard to know, even with the research, where the troops
were exactly.
I got some pretty cool finds though.

Handmade Hoof pick
4 Three ringers
2 Flat Buttons
Colonial Buckle (small)
Underwear button
Percussion Cap
Handmade 2" wrench (Found in Crouch's book)

Hey man, whats the iron piece...bottom of first pic kindof to the left? I found the same piece in a camp...just wondering if you knew. I thought mine was part of a bayonet when I first found it, but now I feel like it is some sort of tool...

I don't know yet, CB. That is the second on I've found.
Someone will enlighten us eventually.

congrats on those awesome cw relics...

 

[tymcmurray]

Good stuff Ty!
It's always cool when you can ID something like that. But when you have a picture of one in the book that looks just like the one you found, It don't get no better than that.
Nice hunt!

Yeah! for being Hand Forged, I wouldn't expect the designs to
be so similar! Thanks!
