This is my first civil war anything I found an unidentified coin also. My older brother also found an 1869 Indian head penny and an 1891 Indian head among with flat buttons and various iron relics including an axe head. Not bad for a day swingin in a cornfield.
My brothers in laws let him know where five different homesteads were then we found two more luckily for us we were able to get permission. And I thought my metal detecting fever was bad. It gets worse with every first find
