Hey Tnet! Today will go down as one of my top 5 days of digging for sure! Got down to Alan's for 2 weeks of vacation/digging on Thursday.. When I was stationed here 2 years ago we stumbled upon a Civil war hospital and thought we had cleaned it out! YA RIGHT! Decided to head back over to the old stomping grounds today :headbang: :laughing7: HH Jeff

haha, forgot my name! couldn't decide on Jeff or umrgolf2000... dipstick sounds best :laughing9:
 

Super finds for a short hunt. You guys are so fortunate to live close to CW spots to hunt. WTG and thanks for sharing.
 

Thanks guys and burta, you are very right... It is a gift to live so close to all the history! I live in Norfolk, VA and thoroughly enjoy being in the middle of colonial america :icon_thumleft: truly a blessing HH Jeff
 

I really enjoyed the video! Great historic place you all have there.
 

Cool finds and video. The pistol bullet is a .44 colt and the rivet you dug went to a sword belt rig. I'm not sure of the proper name we always called them spools.
 

Thank you guys.. Dang vayank, I did not know that one. I love learning about this stuff.. I knew there was something peculiar about that rivet :laughing9: It was much bigger and sturdier than all the rest I have dug :laughing7:
 

Went back today, and got a few 3 ringers.. cleaned it up pretty good yesterday :laughing7:
 

Great finds! Think I'd go back and hit it again :thumbsup:
