Army and Navy, Indians, Eagle and Keys

[Lee43]

Larry and I got out for a while today, well longer than a while about 7 1/2 hours. I was very happy with the first hunt of 2008. I started out with a civil war Eagle cuff button, then I dug a civil war token that reads on one side "Army and Navy" and the other side reads "The Federal Union It Must and Shall Be Preserved".(Has a hole in it) Then I dug an 1865 Indian slightly bent, I would guess from a plow. A bit later I dug a thick Indian and I think the date is 1860, not sure how to get the green off and still keep some detail. After that I dug 2 large brass clock(?)keys. I know Larry got an Indian and some other goodies. We had a lot of fun and the mud was not to bad. Thanks for looking.......Lee
