Civil War finds from Culpepper

[SouthJerseyJim]

My mom and I had the pleasure to do a handful of DIV hunts and this was our most recent finds from last year. Thought I would share. Found lots of buttons, whatsits, bullets, and some very neat stuff non metal related. I wish I could find the picture but I also found a Live comb fully intact a mere inch under the dirt next to a tree. Had "Goodyear 1861" or something along those lines.

Checkin the pit out.

Thought to have been morphine or opium bottle. Eyeballed in the dirt pile.

Beauty of a English looking guy, clay pipe also eyeballed.

I am always happy to detect with new friends. I keep promising myself to get involved with SJMDC, but I have trouble finding the time!
