I just got the kepi company letter A back from Roland Frodigh, had a bent leg.

Anyway, these are my better finds for 2012 so far.

In the picture with the spur and lead knuckles is a combination gun tool, bullet worm, and tompion.

The buttons are mainly Eagle I's, one Eagle C, and a few of the nicer General Service. The B and D company letters are cast brass and the A is stamped.
These are all the silvers from camps this year aside from one 1854 halfdime, gave it to coach croft for putting me on the spot that had the Baby US buckle. Not pictured is about 400 dropped bullets of about 15 different varieties, hundreds of fired bullets, and many many other Union CW relics.

Oddly enough, I dug a Navy button yesterday here in Central Missouri. ??? ..... Say what? :laughing7:

Thanks, the only two coppers I dug from the camps were an 1859 Indian and a No date Braided hair Large Cent..

Thanks guys, I've seen some odd things dawg but a Navy? lol I'm smack dab in the center of the country, you can barely fit a bass boat in the rivers around here. :laughing7:
 

You're really cleaning up this year Jeff. Love the company letters and silver. Keep making those videos too!
 

WOW, hard to believe that middle Missouri has lot ofCivil War relict
 

Very nice relic collection. I'm envious....lol. My CW collection has grown a lot but is at a stand still right now. Havn't been able to find any new or half way decent sites close by in quite some time. Do you have a picture of your navy button? One of my hunting buddies found a CW navy button here locally a few years ago. We're on the Mississippi here though. Where in central MO are you located? Just curious, might have to get together for a hunt sometime....if I can find a spot worth hunting on....lol. HH
 

Nice relics! Recovering CW relics must be an outstanding feeling. I love diggin coins but i take relics over a coin every day!

Buttons move all around...
