3 hour hunt at a civil war skirmish site.

[ArDigger]

My dad and I decided to take another look at an old site we had "cleared" with our starter detectors. I think the AT pros brought it back to life. Fun afternoon!

We got a good assortment of bullets


Maybe a comb?


We are thinking a cufflink? What do you guys think?


Went back for 2 more hours and what do you know...

The top left maybe modern.


Possibly a button back?


My whatsit for the day.


Thanks for looking!

That is a leather rivet of some king. Anyway, you have a nice array of different bullets.

As said a nice assortment of bullets you got 'love the Tear drop types'.
Imo you have a large brass Rivet that IMO was used mostly on Horse Gear, I have found a few of that size in a U.S. Calvary Camp. I love digging those big Rivets ,as brass CW stuff is hard to come by here in N.GA .
Def looks like a Carved Comb...Very Cool Piece.

It is a brass curry comb (not the type like a fat lady) they are considered period by some and late by others. I vote late 1800's due to the only ones I have dug were recovered at late 1800's house sites and i've dug my fair share of CW cav camps where the typical flat ones are recovered.
