Well guys, these finds represent a couple hunts back at my site. Just another knockout weekend, no plates this time around, but a
great amount of bullet, coins, and buttons. This site also had alot of carved bullets which is another sign of daily life in the camp and soldiers carving up bullets. All told bullet tally for
this past weekend: 115 Bullets. I didn't think I'd hit another Virgin site this year that would top the one back in April but this one has definitely done that. Without further adieu, I'll
just post the photos so you can see, thanks for looking fellas and ladies
:
These are some photos of some of the bullets out of the Pouch and still dirty:
....and Once Rinsed
[size=13pt]1876 Carson City Seated Dime[/size] (An unusual mintmark for this area of the Country...)
There were alot of the usual CW Campsite finds such as these:
Carved bullet made into what looks to be a Bishop Chess Piece, some very pretty CW Tent Rope Tensioners, a couple Scabbard tips and a couple of Eagle Buttons still in the dirt clump
This one was a pleasure to see pop out, in great shape:
War of 1812-era Artillery Corps 1-piece Coat Button
Civil War Marines Coat Button & Lower Plate to the Clamshell portion of an Officers Shoulder Scale:
These bullets are quite scarce to come by in this part of the Country, and this one popped out in GREAT shape!
.44 (.49) Caliber Multi-Ring Sharps and an 1861 Fatty, 1862 Fatty, 1863 Fatty, 1864 Fatty & 1864 Regular Indian
Here's a photo of it still Dirty:
This Campsite had alot of Carved Bullets, here's all of them plus a checkers/poker chip in a single shot:
BUTTONS: Here's the group shot of the 32 Buttons. As you can see many Eagles:
BULLETS: Total for the end of the hunt: 115
GROUP SHOT
On Saturday, I only had a couple hours to dig at the CW Campsite because Abby wanted to go to the Beach. So when I got done digging at the Camp, I left and went to the beach. I decided to do some beach hunting with the ole Whites BeachHunter ID that Rob let me demo for the summer , why not, a nice change of pace, and a chance to cool down. Well, I ended up getting this 10K White Gold band after about 30 minutes of searching the surf. I'll Take It! 
Thanks for looking you guys and HH!

I'm curious though, how many trash targets did you have to dig to get that many good ones?
That site will never stop producing for you!
