Made it out....

[SGTLOWE]

Made it out the other morning for my 1st hunt since being stateside. There had been some confederate buttons coming out of this site, but I was not so lucky this trip. I did get my 1st coat sized eagle "I" though. It's a little smushed, but I will take it. The disk lower right got my heart racing for a minute as I thought it was an ID disk. I also thought the coin was a good one as it says "FREEDOM" across the top with the eagle above the shield. It turned out to be a modern token. Any ideas on the brass piece on the top left? Sure was fun to dig in the GA clay!

Great Stuff, John. The piece you are referring to appears to be part of a suspender buckle.

Hey John,
Looks like you got a good site there....Nice finds. I've spent any spare time in the last few weeks focusing on stocking up the freezer with venison. Now its time to bag a relic ... if it ever warms up a little.

Take a close look at the mid-caliber "three ringer" you have inserted into the Spencer case. I can't tell if it's a 3 ring or a 2 ring, rebated base .52 Spencer from your pic. If it has a conical cavity it might be a good one. Check the caliber and send me an email. Good hunting, David @ Dixie
