What an absolute blast of a day with my boys and Monkeyboy. Hit the same spot as a few days ago looking for that two piece buckle but it never showed itself. As we were pulling into our spot a HUGE black bear busted out of the woods and across the yard. wasn't quite fast enough with the camera but got a few shots of it running away. Better away than running at us!!

We dug many bullets, gardners, sharps, three ringers and one with a star(washington arsenal). I found a springfield trigger guard busted and bent as well as some shrapnel and a broken brass dagger guard. My boys found many bullets, shrapnel and miscellaneous brass and iron. My 13 year old dug a nice eagle button.

But the day goes to my 11 year old who found a beautiful Rhode Island coat button, artillery chase chain and a bayonet scabbard tip with the leather still preserved inside!!! What a way to end the Thanksgiving Holiday.
