It's been awhile- CW stuff and a nice seated

It feels great to get back out again Home in Missouri, I finally had a chance to take out the new Fisher Gold Bug DP this week, and I've loved it from day 1. Here in my hometown, there were several thousand troops camped for almost the entire civil war. These finds are from 2 hunts, 1 earlier this week and the other yesterday. Finding a lot of CW camp type items and some post-war stuff mixed in. Hope you've all been well






Looks familiar



Any ideas here? Brass with leather hooks and gold plating on backside



A few pieces of carved lead

Good to see you made it back Jeff, Like the seated,& see your new detector is working for ya.Found some CW stuff a few days ago but did not post them.It felt kinda strange to be digging CW era items.
Take Care & continue on with your ability to make finds Buddy,
Pete,

Nice finds! How does the Gold Bug compare to the F75?

Nice finds! How does the Gold Bug compare to the F75?

The Gold Bug loves the small targets and seems to get decent depth, not quite as deep as the F-75 but still good.. The only complaint is that your settings arent saved when you turn off the GB, however its a very simple "turn on and go" machine. Hope this helps.

Nice finds. I used to live in Missouri for about 15 years. Lot of history there and tons of civil war relics. Missouri was the third most active state in the civil war behind Virginia and Tennessee.

Great stuff. And a nice looking late-date seated for the collection is always welcome. I think that brass piece may have been a brooch at one time, with a large paste jewel or faceted stone held in place by those prongs. Any signs of braising or solder marks on the back would seal the deal for me. Prolly gold plated at one time.

Cheers,

Buck
