Got out for a few hours dug a handfull of bullets and a old brass flag lapel pin with Chaicago on it in a old cw camp. Could a soldier of worn it for there home town? any ideas?
Nice finds. I agree that the flag is probably post civil war. I don't remember seeing any pennants with cities on them in the war. A lot of finds are found in camps that have nothing to do with the civil war. A lot of people may have covered that ground in the last 150 years. It is still a great find. Maybe from the 1893 Chicago World's Fair that a visitor brought home
