Hey Guys, 
its been almost a month since I last posted and wanted to share my finds from my last couple of hunts with you. I went back to a couple of sites that I already had as well as
some new ones. When Roger was down a couple weeks back, he was watching as I popped out a very cool copper coin from a site that was host to Connecticut, New Jersey and New
York soldiers. I found it within the first 10 minutes of Roger and I arriving there and when I popped it out it was a very large Copper with Arabic writing on it. I've seen stuff like this
found before in Civil War campsites around Richmond as well, my buddy dug an Egyptian Watch Fob last year from a campsite. Also was able to pull some Eagles and a nice variety of
lead including a Wormed .69, a flattened musketball made into a poker chip/checkers piece, a carved piece of Enfield and several other nice bullets. Managed a really nice Colonial Shoe
buckle the other day as well, but so much for describing them, here's the photos and thanks for looking guys. Also, as y'all now know Jeff is back, he and I have stayed in touch while
he was gone and I was waiting for him to make his return post before I said anything but now y'all know and a great way to come back with a nice 19th century piece of Silver, congrats
buddy!~
Here's a few photos from the field
Some of my finds from the Pouch
STERLING SILVER HEART RING (Black Onyx with Smoky Quartz) This was an unexpected surprise
BUTTONS: General Service Eagle Coat Buttons, NHDVS Eagle Button, NY Staff Cuff Button (broken), Smashed Zouave Ball Button
BULLETS: Carved Enfield, Wormed .69, Minies, Sharps, Musketballs including another chewed one (making 4 or 5 in the last few months), etc.
1700's COLONIAL SHOE BUCKLE
Colonial Buckle with Indian Wars Era 1870s .45-70 Cartridge
1901 BARBER QUARTER
Roger (Getty) and I had just arrived at a Civil War campsite property that I have permission at. This site was occupied by soldiers from many states but this particular part was camped on by Connecticut, New Jersey and New York troops. We were there maybe 10 minutes if that when I got my first good signal; it was very deep and very faint but solid and repeating. As Roger was digging next to me, I popped it out and it was a beautiful large Copper but right away I could tell it wasn't a Large Cent as it was a little bit thinner and larger and aside from that, it was plastered with large Arabic writting all over it. Probably lost by one of the soldiers who was camping there, a little personal piece. This find made my day and I got it home and researched it and it turned out to be an 1861 Ottoman Empire Copper minted under the reign of Abdul Aziz:
