Hi, all:
The weather has finally broke and the frost is out of the ground, so I spent five hours hunting a hard hit Civil War camp. Hunted in All Metal, sens. at 90. Machine was a little chattery at that high of a sensitivity, but not problematic. Found some nice relics. The spoon is post Civil War. The two brass rivets in the piece of leather could be period, but who knows for sure. The bullets are all period. The brass item on the right appears to be a very beat up scaboard (sp) tip. The area is a plowed bean field and most of the finds were less than eightinches deep. Great to be out hunting, again.
Thanks for looking, and keep on diggin'
