Finds from 2 Day Civil War Relic Hunt

[mudslideslim]

Had an unforgettable hunt with a great bunch of hunters this past weekend (Josh Sherman, Swampdigger, Swampdaddy, GeoDiggerMike, and Chip). We hit several different sites hard as a team and were well rewarded for our efforts. Lady Slim and I both found firsts - for her that was a dropped 3-ring Minie' ball and lead sabot fragment and for me that was a local made tinned iron back CONFEDERATE artillery "block A" coat button!!! Oh what a feeling! I have to thank Josh for first identifing the button. When first dug I couldn't make out what was on it - just knew it looked right due to the size and crude manufacture. Toward the end of the day while we were taking pictures, he called it. Lady slim and I also found some nice Minie balls, Sharps, Richmond Labs(dropped with traces of gunpowder), musket balls, lead sabot frags, box finial, flat buttons, and other misc relics. Good friends, good food and drink, good finds and the great outdoors - it just don't get no better than that folks!

Pictured below are my finds for the hunt.
happy huntin'

Nice stuff! Wonder if that bent button has a CSA on it? Probably would break if unbent though. Monty
