Cavalry Camp Revisited

[Fullstock]

I got a call on Friday from the landowner where my cavalry camp is located. He said that some ground had been recently cleared to put in a fence, and I should come up and give it a try. I went there today and was surprised at how much stuff I found. 30 Sharps, Burnside and pistols bullets, 3 eagle buttons (I hit one by accident), 3 percussion caps, an 1858 flying eagle penny and other assorted stuff including what appears to be a piece of melted silver. Not a bad day at all. [emoji4]

I like it FS!! By the looks of it there should be a couple scabbard tip finials hiding there somewhere. Nice saves

That was good hunt. Nice of the landowner to give you a heads up on the cleared ground.

Wow! Looks like a super fun and productive hunt for you. That kind of day doesn't come along too often. Awesome outing. Congrats!

Thank you! I guess I should have explained my finds better, but those aren’t bayonet scabbard tips, they’re empty Burnside Carbine casings.

I’ve been hunting his property for about 15 years now. Great guy and we’ve become friends.

Great haul of lead and brass! That would keep me smiling.

It reminded me of the old days, the only thing missing was a plate or two. [emoji6]

This is only the third Flying Eagle penny I’ve ever found, and the last one was in the 70’s. [emoji16]

There was a major camp on his property and he’s been hassled by relic hunters for years sneaking in. Not not only does he call me, I’m the only one he allows to relic hunt there, he’s a great guy.
