I'm out on this big organized hunt for Civil War stuff...here are my finds from last week, and will be out again for three days starting tomorrow...Hope to find more, but this red soil is an entirely different beast!

That is part of a knife....looks to be part of the handle...still has the pins from where the wood was attached...both pieces were about 8 feet away in two separate holes....Will be getting up at 4:30am to start getting ready for the second three day hunt!

You're doing ok in that lovely soil. What machine are you using. We hunted that place in the '70's and there were places you could put a quarter on top of the ground, put the detector head on top right down on top of it, and the machine wouldn't pick it up.
No offense but I believe the handle with the pins is a fork handle. It is civil war or earlier though. I hope you dig a lot of good stuff.

Nice Cw finds. Red soil sounds like Alabama to me. Have fun and much luck!
