More Civil War Relics, some new buttons for me.

[Jacobsdt]

I went back for my 3rd weekend to the area where I pulled the eagle breast plate hoping for another plate, my friend beat me to it. He found an eagle breast plate on this trip. I'm glad for him, maybe next weekend it will be my turn again. I did find some cool items.

Its rough, but its still an "A", and my first.

I thought this was a New York cuff, I started cleaning it and realized it wasn't. Its a Michigan button, and another first for me

And again, my first hat pin. Really liking this new spot.

This one is a New York. I am having trouble getting this green crust off of it. Its still soaking now.

The Scabbard Tip still has leather in it.

A lot of bullets, tent grommets and other pieces. Thanks for checking it out and HH.

Nicely done! You are lucky to be in a target rich environment for Civil War relics.

That's the kind of site that dreams are made of! Wow, y'all are saving some great history. A place like that would make a man miss a lot of work.

I wish I could, we drove in the ice Saturday morning, cars were in the ditches. I couldn't miss out. They have only begun to clear the property. They still haven't cleared the hills that are loaded with old dug out hut sites.

I use Ammonia, if the buttons still have a lot of Gilt they can stay in for a while. Regular eagles just need about 15 to 30 minutes to get them clean. This is what the guys who have been detecting for years have told me.

Nice digs. Congrats on the Michigan button. That's one of the tougher Yankee buttons.
