Yesterdays Civil War finds and some 45 Caliber Bartholow's!

I met up with a fellow 417 Relic Hunters Club member Mark D. and after breakfast we hit 3 different yards. We were hunting in an area several hundred yards from an old camp that was destroyed years ago by a gated community. We did find an occasional bullet in the first two yards but the third was the jackpot. Mark had been in that area a few days ago and in a different yard he dug a carbine sling buckle and a brass container with 16 unused black powder caps inside! He also dug some Bartholows as well. I dug a few and also a nice carved bullet, a old soap token and a couple Teardrops. Thanks Mark it was a fun day! Hope everyone has a great weekend, Tim

Some great looking finds there, love the teardrops for sure! Looks like you may have run across a picket post.

Thanks for sharing,
Steve
