Done pretty good today. Found 8 bullets, 1 carved bullet, parts to a pocket watch, tip from a bayonet scabbard (my first) some camp lead and an old hunting knife. I don't think knife is period but still a cool find. Also found a what is it and will post there later. Thanks for looking. RN

Good hunt...I like that scabbard tip!

I found a very similar scabbard tip in MA a few years back on vacation. I take it that's it's a Union tip? Any ID on it? That should help me ID mine. I'll have to dig it out and post it here.

Came from a Union camp so I say it's Union.

Tompion? Please excuse my ignorance. Is that what the tip is called?

A very nice summer relic hunt RN. I have found that scabbard tips are not that easy to find. WTG, Q.

The item on far right which you are saying is the tip of a bayonet scabbard. I found one just like yours, but I until now did not know what it was.Found long ago in Virginia. Thanks for that info.
