All Treasure Hunting
I have a friend that was able to obtain permission for a Union Camp in Gettysburg that has never been detected before. I found my first ever Williams cleaner ( missing its base) and a beautiful Union Eagle Infantry button with its Gold Gilt and shank intact. In all we tallied between me and my two other buddies over 50 dropped 3 ringers, 4 musket balls, my button, broken tip of a bayonet, and some other goodies. We cleaned house! So glad to find a spot that has had no detectorists ever on the property. Here are the pics my friends. Enjoy and HH!

Awesome hunt. Love it when its farm fresh.:thumbsup:
 

Great bunch of lead, Beeps! That button is really beautiful too. They don't come that perfect very often.
 

Great Hunt..Always a thrill when you have the opportunity to save pieces of histroy
 

Very nice. Been quite some time since I have dug that many Civil war items at one time. Awesome saves!
 

Man o man! You are on the something special there! Can't wait to see when you pull the deep stuff. I think I'd play hooky for a month and head back again and again. Great job!
 

Awesome stuff...always cool when you can hunt a place like that...they will hold a special place in your collection for years.
 

Nice button got any better photo's of it? Any info on the spoon? Sounds like a special place there's gotta be more to be found there. good Luck.
 

I am in awe both of your finds as well as the site. Hope you have the opportunity to visit it again. Congratulations.
 

Nice job on the mini balls, cool spoon
 

Awesome finds! That's a Type I Williams Cleaner they didn't have a base like the Type II, Just small zinc disk attached to that stub.
 

Great Finds..
Your Very Blessed to be able to hunt such a Site.
