Lamar and I hunted a new area at an old site. In the past this site had yielded some exploded 9 inch shells and 24 pd Bormanns. We expanded this site and found a new pocket of relics. Lamar found a dump on the back side of a hill and found some broke bottles & handcuffs. I was hunting above him and found a 6 pointed solid silver star with a place on back that had a hook soldered in the center. Never dug one like that before. Close to the Star, I found a brass Buttplate, a flattened eagle Button, a Coin button, brass screw,and a piece of brass with 11 period dates on it. Then we started hunting another section of ravines, I pulled out a disc with a log cabin on it. Lamar hollered "Come look at this". I walked over to his ravine and saw a 9 inch Navy Shell half washed out of his ravine. In the next ravine, Lamar pulled out a 6 pd Solid and I found a 24 pd CS wood plug shell with the wood fuse still in it. Lamar made the last finds of the day- 2 gun barrels.
