Short hunt in the woods pays off. 3 ringer, eagle "I" coat button and flat button.

The wife let me go out for a little bit while the daughter was napping. Decided to try just down the road around some softball fields. I noticed they had graded right beside one softball field all the way back to the woods. I followed it back, picking up some modern change along the way. As I got into the woods after finding a modern penny, I found a flat button. A foot away was the 3 ringer. About ten minutes after I found the eagle "I" coat button.

That was my first coat sized eagle "I" button. Not that big of a deal for some, but was pretty cool for a short undiscovered new site!! HH

Nice finds and surely there are more waiting & wanting to be found. Good luck.

Very nice pieces of 1800's history. Nice save! Glad you dug those up so they aren't lost a few years down the road.

And surely they would be. With the way things are going, I'm sure a lot of these "virgin" sites will be lost to construction sadly.

My thoughts exactly. Dark was closing in on me and I had to leave.

Nice Matt!! The Infantry Officer's eagle buttons are always a good find. Good luck at that site-may be a camp!!! HH, Quindy.

Thanks, Quindy. At the school across the street is where I found over 30 bullets just in behind the school. I knew there had to be more in the surrounding areas. HH
