More from the Civil War camp-more pics added

Hello all,
It has been a while since I posted. Here are the results of our last several visits to the Civil War camp that we have permission to hunt. They harvested the beans so we had a small window to hunt in. We have done very well at this “hunted out” site I think. We found our second US breast plate (my first) and a lot of other nice finds including a brass wedding ring. Not to mention several as of yet unidentified things, so if you see something in the pictures feel free to chime in with what they might be. Especially the iron stuff like the bigger piece with the two holes in it (3rd picture) and the large pin type object (6th picture), There is one brass piece with a “bullseye” pattern on it that we are wondering about in the 4th picture. It looks like a cap off of something (no threads) Thanks for looking

Congrats on those historical finds. I can see by the handle that we use the same shovel.

That's a nice haul!!! Love to see the history being saved and shared. And it's a heck of a lot of fun doing it huh?

Thanks It is great fun finding them and trying to figure out what everything is.

The bullseye thing could be a horse bridal rosette. Hard to tell from the picture.

Thanks for the reply. We thought of that and I know it is not a good picture but sides are about 1/2 inch tall which is a bit tall for a rosette (I think). It really resembles a cap of some kind but there are no threads but the sides are ribbed like the top

Hope you solve it. If you get chance post some close up of it! [emoji106]

Man, what a great spot! You've got some nice stuff there. Assuming you know about knap sack hook, Kepi buckle, belt adjuster and about 4 different pieces of shoulder epaulets? Well done!

Thanks everyone for looking and all of the comments. Here are a few more pictures of the round brass thing. The coin in the picture is a quarter for scale. If anyone knows what it might be please let me know. Thanks

Great group of relics. We have hunted in the past in Kentucky in bean/ corn fields,it's so peaceful even if you find zilch. The round object looks like shotgun casing to me even though it's way too big.

Thanks everyone for all of the replies. So far the best guesses on the brass thing are either a cap from an oil lamp or the cap from a flask of some sort. Who knows. Still open to guesses on this or any of the other stuff.
