I got out this morning for a couple of hours with my buddy Steve, {Ashdigger} we had some good finds. I dug a few drops and a nice Eagle button, also a nice flat button and a 53 nickel. A gold plated watch? clasp and a part of the business end of a old spoon. A couple of scrapers and some rivets and shot lead pieces. My buddy dug a few nice drops as well. Hope you all have a great week. Tim

I was told it is a Dimmick variant, most be sorta rare, it's the first one I have dug and I have dug over 3000 bullets since about 2004.
 

Thank's Tsgman....just looked it up and it was made by Horace Dimmick,St. Louis MO. for the Illinois troop's.Learn something new everyday......HH!!
 

Nice finds and congrats on the rare bullet! HH, Mike
 

Very nice CW finds. Congrats to you. Over 3000 bullets!!! That's fantastic.
-MM-
 

Really nice finds. I have never heard of a Dimmick bullet, either. Thanks for posting a good photo.
 

Nice assortment of Civil War Relics Tsgman. Sure like the gilt on that Eagle button. Good day of 'dirt fishin' going on there :)
 

Very nice Congrats!!!
I'm glad I had the opportunity to find at least one of those three ringers. I don't think pictures ever really do them justice... Those things are huge...
Continued Good luck, & Happy hunting~
