SWORD...At early 1700 field

[Vino]

Went hunting with treblehunter today.And had not so great hunt this morning. .He did find something cool.Ill let him post..Anyway after he left. I went down the road and seen this really old house (1760) the lady told me after I knocked. ..Anyway I went through me speach and told her I would share ans show hee what I find and she told me go for it but don't bother showing her because she is going to take a nap...lol..I said thanks and went on my way...15 min later I got this big signal was not going to dig but figured what the hell you just never no...Glad I did...About 1 inches down I see this sword handle. ..Was scared to pull it out..I had to stand up and pull amd out pops the hole sword. ..Felt like Excalibur! !!!!
Any help on idea would be great...I think its military. ...Lot of revolutionary going on in the area. ...

Maybe I should have hung out a little longer, ha That is your best find ever. I hope you can get an ID on it, judging by the area you found it, and that alone, I think your going to find out something very cool on that sword!

That's awesome....doesn't look like it's been in the ground for a super long time, but I guess you never know with soil conditions around there.

looks like you have possibly found a civil war C.S foot sword.This was the closest I could find to it,Allot of civil war swords have that style grip on the handle.But I am no sword expert.What a find man!

Just showed my 16yr old this, even though he won't hunt with me, he is telling me this would be stolen in my sleep and end up on his wall...lol. Great sword!
