New Years Day Civil War hunt

[TNreb]

Couldn't think of a better way to spend New Years Day than go relic hunting. Only partner Bob could make it as Sham and Frank were unable to go. We decided to go back to our CS Artillery site that was also the site of a college that burned down in the 1850's. We have found many nice finds there but nothing Confederate....yet. I know they are there and may be masking under the extremely amount of trash left over from the college. The old red bricks are everywhere which makes the soil extremely hot. I got a couple buttons. One nice Eagle button and one cuff button that I can make out the arrows on the bottom right and one wing on the left (wing is up so it is just a normal General Service Eagle cuff button). Also got a percussion cap, brass shell, camp lead, button back, couple pistol bullets, round ball, couple decorative pieces from the college and two shell frags. One frag is pretty good size and has threads from the fuse.
