Got back out to the coastal site VMI and I have been digging for the last couple weekends. He was out yaking somewhere and I dug a Charleston Slave/Servant tag! It is just the top part but it was enough for me to know exactly what it was. I searched frantically for the rest of it but luck was against me on that. We think it might be a later version due to the small size.
I sent a pic to VMI then immediately eyeballed a 1880's 3 piece mold Ale/Beer bottle in the mud. I have no idea how this survived all these years in the rocks on the coast. Its a pretty cool bottle and my oldest intact bottle thus far. After sending a pic of the bottle I got a call from VMI "I'm pulling up now" He couldn't let me find everything!
I found another weird piece of lead that looks like cut silver. Not sure what these are but I keep finding them.
This next little medal thing I'm pretty sure is aluminum. It is really cool. Haven't found anything like it. Looks like a woman playing a violin. Any help on this one would be appreciated.
This button looking thing had me going! I was close to some civil war activity when i found this so i was pumped. I cleaned it up and saw the dreaded E right in the center of it! WTF is that! No idea what this is.
Finally here are what i believe to be Brass Knuckles from the coastal site. A little cruddy but pretty sure thats what it is. Then some old nails? not sure not iron.
