the old mansion in the woods gives up more

hello all, i went back for a short hunt in the woods today at the old mansion site i've been hunting for a while now. it's quickly becoming overgrown, so now i have to move faster or wait until fall. i went back to the exact site that olddigger and myself went to a couple of weeks ago near the old house. the four pieces of harmonica reeds at the base of a huge pine tree was a surprise. a chewed .58 cal. three ringer followed, then the shot three ringer. i found the percussion cap on top next to the dropped three ringer. the two flat buttons were deeeep, about 10" or so, the smaller one very crudely made, and with a good shank. the four hole button was cool to find too. it might be civilian. last weekend finally found a 1949 p cent, only the second cent [the other a dateless large cent] i've found so far. the ticks are really starting to come out now too. arrgghhh! but hey, it's fun! enjoy, and hh,
 
What is the "four hole button" made of? Nice assorted collection of recoveries.

hi pap, it's definetly brass or copper, has the rust colored patina. i have found similar buttons, but they were union fly buttons, they also have 4 holes with "u.s" on them. thanks, and hh,
 
To find that many harmonica reeds together is a real treat. I bet there are lots more CW relics nearby. Hit it hard and slow and let us know what you find! Oh...and congrats on some great saves!

If it's a good spot, there's more than a few fellows who have brought their string trimmer along when it gets overgrown...

it looked similar but the ones I found were not brass or copper. Whatever, nice find!

Nice hunt.

I am trying but have not found any where that I can find
more than just something here and there.

I ain't licked yet though.

I'm gonna have some CW relics before it's over with.

HH,
