Big Eagle "I" Button, Ramrod Cleaning Jag as We Assess Triangle Camp #3

[VOL1266-X]

If you read our posts, you know we are assessing the last camp of the “U.S. Camp Triangle”. This is the most Southern camp of the three & the most hunted. The landowner said there were trees on the site when he bought it. He had them bulldozed, piled, & burned. There are many solid iron signals in the soil. The earlier hunters with the older machines apparently ignored the iron. Doug had the best find yesterday with a real nice high convex coat size Eagle “I” Infantry Officer’s button with intact shank. My best find was an iron cleaning jag that went on a ramrod. It had a slot where a piece of cloth would have been folded into to clean/oil the barrel. Our finds are shown on the blue towel.
I went back today to further survey the entire camp location. I dug the usual iron relics, a dropped .58 with ramrod impression, and brass end from a pocketknife as shown on the tan towel. I first thought the "pliars' looking iron relic was an iron bullet mold but I doubt it. My assessment is that we put this one on the back burner for now. Happy Thanksgiving from the Tennessee Trio.

Hard to believe you guys are in coveralls already. I haven't broke mine out yet, even though I have been out in 20 degrees hunting the fields. Nice button and congrats on the magazine articles.

I'd much rather fight the wind than the snakes, ticks, and mosquitoes, although I'd rather not fight at all! LOL
Nice hunt and thanks for sharing!

Good recoveries, Looks like that spot has promise for sure.

Considering the place being covered pretty thoroughly y'all still made some good finds. The item that looks like pliers,I would have loved too to see what the end looked like as well. Modern Miner, the article in W&E Treasures was most informative! Happy Thanksgiving to the Tennessee Trio. Hopefully Mrs. Q will make you some pies.
