Todays CS button & other relics!

[SC Keith]

Today's CS button & other relics!

Got out today to a water area and scored these. The CS infantry is a local made, with the backmark "E.M.L & C./ Richmond.Va." All of the finds came from water and mud and the lack of patina is typical in general for water recovered brass relics---with some exceptions of course.
The harmonica was an interesting find--usually they are in pieces. The baby's porcelain teacup is kind of cool also! HH & thanks for looking!

Nice Block I Keith, you can definitely tell its been underwater. Got the EM Lewis Richmond backmark too, that's the better one for that button!

Sweet "I" button. That harmonica is awesome. I have only found reeds. That thing is in amazing shape. Is it CW period as well?

The Hohner company started making harmonicas in 1857. I cant say for certain whether this one is CW era, as the site goes well beyond the CW. This model does look like a Hohner from my research. HH!

Awesome Water finds Keith! Really nice stuff man!

Thanks! And thanks to the others who took the time to reply! Keith

Nice finds...I've really developed an affinity for water detecting...given the right area.
