I went diving yesterday after some heavy rain in our area hoping to scare up some goodies, I uncovered a rusty bayonet a severely corroded federal eagle coat button with backmark and shank intact and some more marbles, pottery, ammo, another clay pipe and an odd shaped little bullet that other forum members say is actually a finial, either way it is a cool find and I am thankful for their knowledge.​
