Pile of Civil War Relics! Man Was "I" Lucky!!
Hey TNet!
Today my family and I figured what better to do on a windy 30 degree winter day than metal detect. So we decided to dig for the last two or three hours till dark, at once again one of our favorite spots. We threw on plenty of clothes hoping to find a few relics to come home with. We really weren't anticipating much more than a couple of bullets but that's not what we ended up with. We found another pocket of relics and the bullets started pouring in.. but my best find for the day was the third thing I dug! As we were digging bullets I got a faint hit that meant it was going to be good. At about 10 inches I saw the button pop out and immediately called my son over saying its a "big button." We were anticipating another union state seal button, but I soon realized it wasn't a state button.... IT WAS A BLOCK I! This is only my SECOND confederate button and is my SECOND block I. So we kept hunting until the sun had set and walked away with our pouches full. Here some pictures to help share the excitement with you!! Enjoy.
