My House and Gettysburg Retreat Find's

I got off call Friday and was bound and determined to get out this weekend even though the temp's were only going to be just above freezing.One plan fell through on Saturday so I ended up hunting my house/field's (first 3 pic's).Not too shabby,couple button's,old comb,pack stud,knife piece,lantern part,key piece and a "spoon handle".On Sunday I got an invite from John (genlee here on Tnet) up to his Confederate Camp which is also one of the retreat route's from Gettysburg.Not too shabby there either....J hook,ramrodded .58,roundball,Confederate button back,pack stud I've never seen before,horse tack buckle and another little stud.John on the other hand had a great save himself,hopefully he'll post it up later.This beat's being on-call anyday Any idea's what the second pic's are??Thank's for looking!

Nice recoveries What type of button do you think that button back came from? It isn't one of the NC locals like Gen Lee found.

I am hoping we can all get back together to do some more hunting in the Spring or if we have a continued warm spell, which I think is over.

Either way I had a great time

Re: My House and Gettysburg Retreat Find's

Would pic 2 be hooks.... a rod or wooden pole would be placed into the open end and then a pot suspended from the “hook” with chains for cooking over a fire?

That comb looks a little hairy... You still keep pulling stuff out of our yard, it's amazing. I'm partial to the J hook. Nice variety of pa finds. Good weekend all in all, I'd say.

Hutch....Lol...I'm the one been torturing myself using his TDI for the past two weeks I just can't figure the dang thing out I've watched videos, read articles and still...iron, iron and more iron. It's been a good yard cleaning machine that's about it for me in our yard and soil. Lucky it's not wrapped around the pole outside I have patience but it's put me to the test. Can't wait to be able to get my own machine again...I think I'm going back to the MXT....did me well. When I do, I'll be following Joe around trying to figure out his secretes... Hey Spike! Hey Spike!...LOL.
