It was a brisk 38 degrees, but the sun was out. A little, then it started to sprinkle. These items are from the Civil War camp that has been pounded for 50 years. It was only of my best days there yet.
First picture is a complete musket worm, it should clean up nice, fourth picture is left to right, three percussion caps, a hard to get find from here because of the mineralized soil, 9 pieces of camp lead, porcelain button and an eagle button, the broken glass bottle has a piece of lead melted to it! Sixth picture is a solid thick iron plate, apparently broken. Anybody have a clue on this? Last picture is the typical iron ration can and nail trash from the site. There are thousands of these pieces on the site, many are found under the coil the same sweep as a good item. It is a tough place to dig.
