Went back and hunted a site I hunted earlier and found some more bullets, a nice eagle cuff button marked Scovill on the back with solid shank, horseshoe, what I think is a heel plate, more shotgun shells and other misc stuff.

the smallest bullet is a post 1900s bullet
(most likely post 1940s)

I figured that it was post war by the markings. Just included with the rest.
 

Congrats on the nice CW relics, did you find them in a field or the woods or maybe both, just curious ?

In the woods...DEEP in the woods. I actually got separated from my partner and ended up calling him on his cell. I asked for him to holler so I could get a bearing and I could barely hear him. Eventually I made back to him by us hollering every so often.

Cool, good idea bringing your cell phones.
 

Great finds Thound!!! That is a great looking button. The fact you dug it in deep woods helped preserve it as opposed to finding it in a field that had been heavily fertilized. Any time you see checkering in the grooves of a bullet, it's post war. Check the area where you guys found the relics today VERY carefully. There should be more relics there. Good luck.
 

Nice CW saves. The button looks to be in great shape.
Congrats.

Well done Sir,

I think this is a "felled" tree marker.
"hubbard" thing".
