These are my find's.......MY FIRST FATTY......And a 1864 at that,just awesome.It was at least 8" down,nearly gave up to tell you the truth.After that I found a Brass Wedding Band(typical of the CW era}some kind of "clip"and a "zinc collar pad co." made in Buchanon,Mi....thought that was pretty cool.Flat button "Standard Colour',A buckle,harmonica read and lot's of trash......Like I said,lot's of pic's......Enjoy~~~~

Hey Bud, dang nice snag :thumbsup:

Got to love the Civil War era "Fatties". It is in pretty good condition too and the date just pops right out at you and is so easy to read!!! :wink:

Looks like you and Ty are going to be finding some very cool relics on that property I CAN FEEL IT! Good digs Joe, can't wait to see what else comes out of the dirt from that property :thumbsup:
