CW Navy Button, 1859 Indian Head (No Shield), Big Eagle "I", Early Eagle "D" etc

What's up TNet. Here's my latest finds. Found this really Nice Navy Coat button yesterday at one of my old sites;

didn't think it was going to clean up well BUT it SURPRISED the heck out of me! :headbang:...Then I

dug the beautiful Eagle "I" today at a place that I gained permission. Little small yard but had some good signals in

it! The button is the type that you saw worn on alot of Confederate uniforms SUPER BIG, could've gone to an

overcoat as well and is in exceptional shape. Then came a pretty decent Early Eagle Dragoons "D" Cuff

Button! It's abit worn but a nice save anyway! Was pretty happy about this one as well! Also dug alot of Colt

bullets, a CS High Base Minie, .69Caliber, 2 Eage cuff buttons, kepi buckle, what looks like it might be a Brass Cavalry bit chain, gun part and some Injuns

including the much desired 1859 Indian Head. :icon_thumleft: :wink: Hope you guys like....here's the pics:
