My day 5 finds from cavalry camp

dcooper1 · Dec 21, 2008

This completes my 5th hunt at cavalry camp. Things are starting to slow down quite a bit, not as many targets as we start to clean up the area. We are still hitting an occasional pocket where you can dig several bullets within a few foot circle. My brother went back to the mud pit yesterday and dug a few more bullets, later I passed over it and dug 2 more. I did manage to find 2 decent eagle buttons within a foot of each other. I really like the LARGE brass buckle that I found.

Enjoy the pictures, I don't know when we will get back to the area, the next time we hunt we may start on another part of the farm where we think there may have also been a camp. We came across that area on a previous hunt and dug quite a few bullets and one cuff button right as it was getting dark. We will have to return to see what else is there.

Good luck to everyone and if we don't make it back before X-MAS ....may it be merry for everyone.

Thanks again to ALL who have replied with the great comments.
I only wish everyone could experience the finds we were getting the first couple of times we were out there. We were CONSTANTLY digging GOOD stuff.

It has been pretty cold here lately, in the teens at night and not hardly above freezing during the day so we haven't been back out. Hopefully after X-mas we will get back out to add some more to the totals before the end of 2008.

Good luck to all, and Merry X-mas!!!
