Got out with Ty early yesterday,joined by Hutch911 and Amy about an hour later....Around 5 Plug's into the hunt up "Popped" up this Son Of A B!%&#.I'm telling you "I'm Cursed".





It wasn't all a bust though...did manage to pull a few keeper's.





Couple .44 round's and a lonely piece of Grape shot......



My first friction primer,percussion cap and a couple "buck's".......



I've got a few more pic's to follow of an item found in the field that need's IDing.....Any Help.....Thank's for Looking and HH!!

nice va button "sig semper tyrannis" {thus always the tyrant}

 

[civilman1]

Yea,

I read it... Unless I missed where it says its fake. It dose not say it is a fake.

Oh well, still cool !!

Keep @ it and HH!!

You'd really believe I'd find something that good

When I wrote my post I thought it was fake,but people are not suppose to say that unless they are asked.
I didn't want to bust someone's bubble.I was just commenting on the find.

You're funny! Great find!

Looked great until I got to the picture of the buttonback, Nice stuff nontheless, likes the friction primer, they dont use them in re-enactments as well do they?

Nope...They use this place as the campground's for the reenactor's in the Maryland Campaign....You know,somewhere up and down the line

Looks like the ones I had on my coat when I was a reenactor. And lemme tell you, I hope they came down in price on those damned VA state seal buttons. About broke my bank to buy 'em.




I still have one that came off my cuff. I had to replace it before I sold the uniform because it had a "push" in it. If you want, I'll mail it to ya so you'll have a pair.



But in all seriousness, it has been years since I've found a friction primer. Nice find there.



Best wishes,



Buckles

 

[civilman1]

Thank's Buckle's......I'd hate to break up the pair.......

Cool friction primer and fake CW button. I can say fake right?? At least you had a fun day. I think the rules are clear if a poster himself raises doubts. Maybe one or two do not read the rules and are to busy tossing greek salads? Lol
Thanks for sharing your finds.

nope the butons are still very costly and yes the friction primers are of the same design then as now but that primer is a old one
