Not a Bad Weekend, Civil War and a Couple of Indians

[Jacobsdt]

I spent some time in the heat this past weekend, lost about 10 pounds. But found a few good items.





Not sure what this piece was, it feels brass and is hollow, I put the bullet in the pic for size.
This is lead shaped out like a coin, I have heard soldiers making poker chips out of bullets?
Buttons, a little rough though.

Arrowhead was just laying in plain site, my second.
I found 3 of these knapsack hooks. Rather deep and close together.
Three ring bullet deep under a big root.
My friend found this one, I wish I had found it. I had past by it many times. We were just about done for the evening when he found it. Army Navy token 1963.

Thanks for looking, happy hunting.

Looks like you have a good hunt site. What detector where you swinging to find those pieces of history?

Great finds! Your IH heads are in great shape. It's hard to beat CW finds. Congrats. I too hunted VA this weekend, it was plenty warm.

The unknown piece next to the bullet is the mouthpiece for a brass band instrument (bugle, over the shoulder horn, coronet, etc) - not sure which specific type - but looks to be ACW period at a glance.

I really love finding those civil war tokens and store cards. Such a variety of them too. Each northern state and other areas made their own since real pennies were hoarded during the war.

Way cool saves. I think everyone nailed it on your unknown brass piece as well. Very old, instrument mouth piece!!!

VERY well done, my friend. ANY CW button is a good button in 2015 . . .

The unknown brass piece next to the bullet is upside down... it is the top of a broken candle holder... taa daa! Nice finds. Congrats,
