Took a couple days to clean it up - CW from Black Friday

[smokeythecat]

I shopped in the dirt. Seriously. Went to the one camp and did VERY well, considering how hard it is to find relics in a place that's been pounded over 40 years! The Deus gets past the big and little iron and sucks the stuff out.

Three percussion caps, a tiny cloak clasp and friction primer. This is my first friction primer since about 1991! I rarely get into artillery areas.

Sharps bullets, the nose of a melted mine and camp lead. One item was a round ball that had been fired.

Nice little vest buckle, quite minty and cartridge base.

A gathering of eagles! More than I have ever dug in one day! Included here is one eagle I.

Another pic of the primer, top to a powder flask and iron buckle.

Section of a pipe and porcelain button.

Underwear buttons...lots of underwear buttons.

Nails directly from the CW campfire.

Now that's my kind of Black Friday shopping spree!
Looks like you had a 100% savings!

 

[digger dug]

good example of never being hunted out.

 

[xcopperstax]

That is quite a successful day! Congrats on all of it! Button mania! That must have been a really fun hunt!

 

[smokeythecat]

You got that right about the buttons. Some need to be conserved, it takes awhile to do it correctly. Several of the eagle buttons were literally stuck to pieces of iron ration cans. A nightmare to detect - at best.

Smokey, you've identified so much of these things. I didn't even know that underwear had buttons!

 

[Trezurehunter]

Nice job on all the Civil War relics Smokey. That was quite an outing.

Smokey, Congrat's to you on a Super Shopping Spree at the dirt Relic Mall. Great collection of CW finds and saves. That was a very productive 1 day hunt for sure. I really like the collection of buttons and the Artillery friction primer. All good finds that are sure to display well in your collection. Continued Success to you. Shopping malls on black Friday? You don't need No Stinkin' malls. Lol
