My best find yet! Civil War mechanical pencil engraved w/ G.H.R. Co.A Pa. 116

[DirtyMike]

I believe this belonged to a Sargent Major George Roeder of Company A 116 Pa. I know he camped where it was found. This is the best thing I have dug since I started. Hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do! The rest of the stuff I found today is in the last picture.


Update. They only camped at this spot for 1 night. Poor guy lost his pencil.

You know.... This place has been hunted for years. But now that the finds are fewer you slow up and hunt the deep targets. Still pulling out tons of good stuff.

I vote this for Banner. Anytime you find something personally identified from the Civil War (regardless of condition), it is a banner find! Killer!!!
