All Treasure Hunting
Well, all I can say is what an amazing hunt. Found a site that has been active here in Alabama since 1799 according to the owner that had a 1799 map in spanish and was translated to English:shock:. I knew there were active areas here in Alabama though few and far between in the late 1700's but never thought I would find any. Well I found what I think are 8 3 ringer bullets from the civil war even though that was 60 years later. I'm not much into civil war relics but from other pics I seen they certainly appear to be civil war relics they are chalky white, but one thing bothers me is they have a flat top:?:. Can anyone confirm that these are from the civil war or possibly older? Thanks. I also found sterling jewelry and silver #23 #24. I got 11 wheats and a whole lot of other sweet relics. I also have a strange looking key as well. Nice Butterfly with the inscription "Imperial" on the back. I did not see sterling or .925 but believe it is silver because is came up high between dime and quarter but with no mark I can't verify it. I also found some vintage costume jewelry, and a pocket knife and a lot more. :shock: The nice ornate piece is a button that has a mother of pearl back on it. Possibly from the 1800's because of the mother of pearl backing.

Well anyway pics and video are below as usual.

nice finds congrats HH
 

Good looking finds.
 

I found out the 3 ringers aren't civil war the flat end indicates they are from the 60's made possibly by a Lyman mold or sold by Lyman for black powder guns. So Close yet so far away.
 

that butterfly is fantastic

Yep! Very Nice Genuine Filigree not that fake stuff you often see on ebay. This is genuine handmade filigree very old and very? Don't know how old or how much yet? Still checking on that one.
