Got out today at my tried and true CW site that I've been hitting for almost a year now and it still produces. With nearly 500 acres what do you expect? Found several different bullets, washinton arsenal,both dropped and fired bullets, pulled, and a "chewed" Williams cleaner. Got a nice "c" cuff and should clean up nice. Got a nice little '35 buffalo on the way out. Would have liked some cw period silver but oh well! Thanks for looking and HH.

Matt, you will find a lot more great relics where you are in your lifetime than I ever will if you continue to hunt. You have a passion for digging that I admire. If you are like me (and I know you are), you (and your hunting friends) will get your butt wet, hot, cold, and tired searching for history that you can hold in your hands. HH, Q.

A nice group of relics.
I been hunting a Calvary Camp for around 2 years and have yet to dig a C button.
Got a I cuff & a Staff cuff and many GS but the "C" has eluded me.
I still got a 3 cuff buttons to clean off but I believe their the GS type (not complaining)
ill take any CW button I can find.
From the look's of the photo there's likely many more relics to be found .
Good Luck
Davers

Thanks guys. Added a short video for some. I know a couple people ask for videos so I figure I'd give ya one. I tend to record when it's more of a leisurely day and I'm not hunting a virgin spot where I want to do non stop digging. lol

Always better than the general service ones, but any button 150 years old or more that's still intact is welcomed.

I think it was both. Small campsite and small skirmish. Doesn't show up on any civil war maps, but camps and skirmishes were all over Virginia and west Virginia.
