Nice CW stuff from the last two days

[smokeythecat]

And now, its nap time....

Trigger guard to an 1853 Enfield Musket

Man's wedding ring in brass from CW battlefield

Sutler style mess kit folding spoon in brass

Harmonica reed

Trigger guard cleaned

1865 Indian Head. I can read liberty on the headband

CW black glass

Camp lead and a pipe stem

Those icky poncho grommets.

And yes there's MORE!

Probably went to cartridge boxes.

Eagle button on left was on top of the ground.

Minies and an unknown I have to measure.

Two pieces of very thin brass, maybe to a shako or such.

Two brass pieces that probably went with the spoon from a mess kit. Found within 1'.

Two colonial silvered buttons, a brass tack head and early 19th century button with backmark.

Another ho hum day in Civil War Land.

I like the trigger guard best.
The iron buckles commonly went on horses, I find tons of them over here.

Nice digging with you yesterday Smokey, let’s tear it up again this coming Saturday. You kicked Dave’s and my but! ��

That's because I what you said "waddle like a duck?" It was a hard day. And it got hot!

A few more things:

Bits and pieces

Probably a musket tompion but not to a standard Enfield and probably cartridge box finial, and most likely Confederate as it used a small piece of iron on the other side/back.

Nice!!!!! Congrats!!!!!

Thanks. We found nothing dating after the CW. Nothing. Of course there was the exception of aluminum foil and modern aluminum cans. But no late 19th century or early 20th century anything. The one little bullet was modern.

Cool finds, Smokey.
