Wooded relic spot & Creepy video!!!
I went to one of my spots today and hunted out in the woods.
Fortunately I had my video camera to film this first creepy find. Unbelievable!!!!
WARNING: Not for the week at heart!!!
Here's the video:
After that, I headed to another section of the woods and ran into an area where I started to find some CW era relics.
I thought I had finally found an old coin out there, but it turned out to be a heavy 1800's button.
I didn't have a lot of time there, so I will be going through it with a fine tooth comb later.
These relics were all within a 20' section. I can just picture a CW soldier camped out there.
My finds were:
*A 24mm heavy button with what appears to be a "P" on the front. The back has a CW era backmark of "Horstmann & Allien".
Can anyone ID this button? I'm dying to know. 
*A small round tin with a hinged area.
Any ideas?
*Old brass spigot. 1800's?
*Old key
*Harmonica reeds and a few what's-it's.
*A big chunk of the remains of a brass lantern and the wick adjuster. It is made from thin brass. CW era I'm hoping.
Any ideas? I was hoping it was part of a canteen.![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")
Today was a lot better than my past few hunts.
Thanks for looking and any help with the ID's would be GREATLY appreciated.
