I went to a place I haven't been lately, and re-secured the permission to dig. It was just about a four hour hunt and I did ok.
So...I got three nails from a ration can case, I like the little ones. Three poncho grommets, one with a nail still in it. A nice base to a Williams cleaner bullet, perfect bone button, modern small caliber bullet, coat eagle button, a couple pieces of glass, a percussion cap, two small pieces of camp lead and a melted minie ball. Lots of fun. Also got a big section of a cartridge box's tin liner. It has to be cleaned up. The little buckle has a patent 1855 date on it.
