Confederate drum canteen & very strange FLAT eagle button with shield & stars...
My buddies absolutely cleaned my clock today, so let me say going in, these are NOT my finds. Digging buddy found some colonial flat buttons, bullets and frags, but the find of the day was a Confederate drum canteen, 2 1/2 feet down in very wet red clay/sand mixture. I'm waiting to see it cleaned, but the parts you can see have NO RUST and barely discolored. Unreal.
Can anybody identify this cuff-sized Eagle button? I've never seen anything like it . . .
He also found the remains of an excellent side knife. The hand guard looks to be copper.
The rest of his take for the day:
Mudduck had a fine day as well with his first bayonet scabbard tip, first friction primer, and a lot of bullets. he never posts his stuff, so I'm posting it!
I was low man on the totem pole today. All I managed to pull was a 3 ringer, a blown boreman fuse and a friction primer. Oh well, the TEAM scored big . . .
