Gun tool carved Gardiner & chewed bullets

[Digger70pa]

I got out to a camp I hunt from time to time. It was camped on by Confederate troops on the way into Gettysburg & on the retreat. I happened to catch it in between crops & hit it. All in all it was fun hunting this time of the year being it's hard to find anything that's not in crops. I've found chewed bullets there before. I know people say hogs chewed them but it was on the retreat route. I found a carved Gardner that's pretty cool. The gun tool was a mistake lol. I know I should dig more big iron.

Thanks buddy. I was trying today. I have before buddy. I've found quite a few. My nicest one was a Mississippi A button. I found a couple North Carolina, a South Carolina, a block A & a block I buttons. And some Yankee buttons also. It was a good spot.

It's hard to beat carved lead. It's such a personal find. Great that you got out and made some finds.

That's a beautiful MS 'A' , it's in great Dug shape , Ill be hunting a MS button til I get one , then look for more lol + I need a SC , NC , VA also. In time...in time.

I'm still thrilled about the GA button , I may take it to my Find of the Month meeting this afternoon , but I don't want everybody handling it to see it 'local' Back.

Ill just go to see what others have dug.

Love that button ..love it.
