Nice digs same goes down here in N GA except Gen,service Eagle buttons are pretty rare [ for me at least] . I know it's hard work digging out those pits & hut sites and your due for a rare or nice relic just keep looking. It's been awhile since I have been out [ over a week, seem's longer tho] but last time out I dug 5-or 6 what I believe to be the 44cal pistol bullets not the Colt style but those of the Waerlett style , sorry for the mis, spelling . Oh and also a rifle part & 1892 Indian Cent [ which I reburied , for a little re-patina ,I went too crazy with the baking soda rub. Good Luck.

Nice finds HSD! I have made a few trips to Stafford this year and found a few "common" relics. In another 5 years you won't have anyplace to dig relics... there are sub divisions every where, I hated to see that.
I hope to get back soon and try my luck again.
