Found civil war era button/bullets in California

[nopeseeya]

Found this button yesterday here in southern California. I believe it is a "general service button" from the 1850s-70s.. It has heavy patina
I was about to give up then bam! I have hit it many times as well.

Here is a few of other bullets i have found in the same spot..

Nice finds. Eagle buttons and bullets always makes for a good day. Probably other good stuff there. HH RN

That's really neat, I bet finding Civil War items in California is more rare than gold coins!

There is no telling what will come out of a spot like that. Keep the finds together and take lots of photographs. You are hunting the West. That stuff is special.
