Both bullseye rosettes have traces of silver. The one which is the smaller diameter has the most. I thought I had a pair............now I need to go back and see if I can find the other two! The brass matchbox container has a beautiful engraved steam locomotive on one side and a nautical scene on the other. One of the boats looks like the same as on a Ohio breastplate. Unfortunately I scaped this side with my shovel. Oh well its still a specatacular find and I may consider geting this scrape repaired. The Jefferson Davis hatpin has seen better days but its the first one I've found in several years. The Garabaldi bullet is perfect and the Boremann fuse is the best I've found at this site. The epaulette pan is perfect also with the prettiest woods green patina! The oval lead piece looks like the lead backing out of a small US plate. If it is maybe I can find the skin and after these finds I have high hopes of finding a plate or two at this site! Hope everyone enjoys the pics. Devonrex
