Hi everyone! I live in the same home I grew up in and I'm surrounded by agriculture fields. I live about a hour north of Vicksburg, MS. The kids and I were walking in the field next to my house and we suddenly saw broken glass of all colors everywhere! One of the broken pieces I could identify the maker, Illinois Glass Company (Diamond with the "I" in the center. No "O" for Owens). The kids and I spent the next several days picking up most of the glass and medal. Im thinking it was a house that burned bc of charred bricks and medal or it was a garbage pit? I found some brass/copper pieces that I'm not sure what they are. One could be a button off of overalls and a bullet casing but not sure the era. Also, I found a piece that belonged on a musket? What do y'all think? Anything of interest? I'm a beginner so I'm still learning :) Thanks!!!!!!!!
