Run on Eagles

[laplander]

Put the six on and worked some thick brush on a sidehill of a old ghost town today. The small coin shaped item is a mystery to me it is the exact replica of a Liberty head one dollar gold coin. This is the 3rd one of these I have found. Pulled another GS Eagle coat button, the 50 cal. round ball and mount plate from the under growth to round out the hunt. P.S. also pulled my first tick of the season, the little @#stards about killed me last fall be careful out there.

Angry isn't the word for it LOL Actually it is very acidic. Ph tends to run in the 5's, until treated, galvanized pipe doesn't last very long.

I agree this is my third one from my older sites, one had the date 1864 which would be wrong for the coin but right for a patriotic piece.
