New Site offers up some nice Civil War & other finds!
Hey Y'all. For those of you that don't know, I've started back school working on my Masters Degree and school started back about 3 weeks ago and it has been FEET to the FLOOR non-stop leaving very little time for anything else but studying and homework. However, I did get back out to a new field site that I got permission at last weekend to scout around. There are 4 fields, two of which are tremendous in size and they sit at a very salient point during the War for Confederate and Union Troops as thousands of Rebels and Yanks were in this general area building up their forces in anticipation for a great big battle. Last weekend while out there, I dug a couple of goodies including a very nice 1917 Standing Liberty Type 2 quarter that photo grades on PCGS between 35 & 40.
These fields have some great potential and they have stuff scattered about there should be a couple housesites/campsites somewhere on them but it will take me some time to work them.
Yesterday I started out with a couple bullets including some fused buck from a Buck n Ball load (Very Cool). Then dug some old pieces of shoe buckles and a couple D-Buckles... The prize of the day however came from a high point in the left of the field. I had just dug a couple Minieballs when I got this pretty signal that turned out to be a Civil War era lead-filled "U.S." Rosette! I dug one similar to this one years ago but not as pretty so I was very happy about it and suspect this high point was an overnight cavalry spot as I also found some small caliber .36 & .44 Colts. I also found a Firman's Celebration Medal that is VERY SIMILAR to the one one the cover of last month's (Feb.) American Digger magazine.
I will be going back out there this weekend to enjoy some more Civil War relics, hopefully something Confederate will pop out as this field lays right on the Fall Line of the Confederate/Union Boundary between Virginia and Hampton Roads.
