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!!! :o
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. ;D
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. :o :icon_scratch:

*A small round tin with a hinged area.
Any ideas? :icon_scratch:

*Old brass spigot. 1800's? :icon_scratch:

*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. :-\

Today was a lot better than my past few hunts. :thumbsup:
Thanks for looking and any help with the ID's would be GREATLY appreciated.

Re: Wooded relic spot & Creepy video!!!

Doug - you goof! :D ;D :wink: After you found the hand I thought a one handed bloody bandit was going to come out of the woods after you... What, couldn't get either of your kids to help out in the movie? :D

A couple better relics - I like the key and the button. I found my first complete skeleton key this last weekend. I hope I can start a collection.

I got to HAND it to you, after digging the hatchet, I was like, that does not look that old. Looked like it was planted and then comes the hand. Ha Ha Ha.
That was a nice video all in the Spirit of Halloween.

Nice button too.

Thanks Dime.
Yep, that was the RCA I shot with. It wasn't even on the good quality setting either.
Didn't Wes Craven do "The Last House on the Left" back in the early 70's? :icon_scratch:
