Farm near Fort Cumberland

[FortBedfordbob]

Hi all, We have been fortunate enough to be given permission to work an old farm along the road to ( fort ) Cumberland Md. The road is no longer in use but saw Washington's and Braddock's troops march by as well as both Union and Confederate troops too. So lots of ground to cover. Here is yesterdays finds : and old Fire Department button, some flat buttons, a spoon commemorating the sinking of the Battle Ship Maine down in Havana in 1898, I think a George II with a date of 1737 looks better in person than the pick and a first for me, a nice Spur. Also some rimfire casings with an outside diameter of about .600 anybody know what they are ? This place is going to be a blast to work. Even some Indian Relics have been found there. So Much Detecting to Come. Hope I didn't add too many pics. Happy Hunting, BB

I'm not sure what the piece in the button right is. At first I thought it was a lamp top but there are no threads inside. There is what looks like a very small square nut, rusted inside. Maybe to attach the top and botton piece together. A Whatz it

That copper is getting my passion higher! It is in great condition, too. I would hit that site until all of the Colonial candy is sucked out of the dirt.
