FOUND CIVIL WAR CAMP

[John Boy]

Went to a spot I thought might be a camp site and turned out to be right.Didn't find a whole lot,but I was very pleased with the finds.Found my very first dropped .58 caliber i was so happy and no one to show it to but the good lord a few cows and an ole bluetick hound.looks like it has maybe a 55 or us in it,hard to make out.Tried to get a pic of the inside but couldn't figure out the camera to get a good shot.Also found a couple buckles and a squeeze box reed and a few unknowns.Thanks for looking.








Brass piece with rivets on the ends







Metal don't know what







Brass bolt







Some kind of valve



And this thing is a mean little booger,poked me 3 or 4 times getting it out of the ground.Lol...know ideal what it supposed to be,but its cool looking.

I always love it when a plan comes together. You figured a site and proved the theory. Good job!

Interesting finds!

HH!

Man that stuff is so cool! I found some bullets but they were fired. One had hair in it. Ouch.

congrats John Boy on the 58, The first one I ever found was a drop and it sent chills up my neck just wondering what was going on at the time it was dropped
and what happened to the person who dropped it........ A guess on the pointed thing....tip of a lightening rod??.....................HH

Excellent ID, Gunrunner61! That makes John Boy's awesome hunt even awesomer!

Could the brass piece with the rivets on the end be a straight razor possibly? I like the little lightening rod,cool beans.
