Love my new headphones! Seems Charlie talked to Mike before Christmas and I ended up with a new set of Gray Ghost headphones under the Christmas tree. Mike must have dialed them in to find extra special 'what's it' items! 
We've finally been getting some colder weather, so Lisa and I have been out and about a couple of times since Christmas. Last week I found a really neat RR button, a buckle, a Merry Widows tin and a silver lid that goes to who knows what and other misc relics.
Lisa found the coolest little cap gun! Thanks to Breezie for the company ID. She says it's a DIXIE brand. What else could it be here in the heart of Dixie?
Before the clean-up:
And before and after:
Isn't that the coolest little pistol!
And she found this full metal shotgun shell...it still has the ball in there! Looks like someone had drilled out the powder.
Yesterday we got out to dig a bit and I ended up with a pocket full of relics. I had no idea what I had found until I got home to empty my pocket and clean them up.
I had found a button that I couldn't ID while out, but after the bit of cleaning, it looked familiar. I emailed Quindy and to my surprise, he says it's a CS block 'I' button! Woohoo! Happy Dance! Thanks Quindy!!!
Pleased as peaches, I decided to post up a 'what's it' that I was hoping someone would know. My thoughts when I dug it was that it was maybe the handle top to a cane. Not to be. You should have seen my expression when Creskol informed me that it was a sword pommel. (I still need that fainting smiley)
Thanks to OldNBroken for the pic ID and Ivan for all the valuable information!! 
This was the second relic I dug and the 'I' button, the first. 'Nother Happy Dance!

Ended up with an O'Bryan button (Started in 1865), a clock key, a buckle, a spoon, a bell that looks like pear and other odds and ends.
I like the way this year is beginning. Let's hope winter will last a bit longer than last year!
Have a great weekend!

The snippy little gnats don't want to give up. This must have been a banner year for those little bugs.
