The best Hunt of my Life!

Poptopagain · Oct 31, 2009

I returned to a Maryland Civil War camp site today and found my first bucket. One of you told me to dig everything earlier in the week, so I did! Here are my finds.

I'm assuming that is was from a New York Militia soldier. We identified a button from there earlier in the week. I wanted to make this a little longer and do some research first, but the kids are ready for Trick or Treating.

Let me know if you recognize any of the stuff like the lock or tab looking thing. It has DM and Co. on it.

Thanks
