I went out this morning around 10AM in search of a new campsite on this very large property I've been hunting the last three days. I decided to stop by the area where the Eagle "I" cuff came from yesterday, and very glad I did! I have found randomly dropped Civil War era coins, but never anything like this.......

I recently found a Civil War map of my region and there are Union tent lines shown on the exact property I've been hunting. There was quite a bit of activity here aside from the camps, but no battles. Roughly 15,000-20,000 men were around here the entire Civil War.

Awesome coins you found !
When you called and told me what you had found I could not stop thinking about how rare a find like that would be , to have that many half dimes in the same hole and a Three cent piece to boot !

Nice work !!!!!!!
