Relic Hunters DREAM DAY

[carpetbagger]

Words are now eluding me, so so happy, Check out these pics

Found three of these SC Civil War coat or vest buttons in pristine shape in an attic of a 1700's homestead, I searched every crevice of this attic. Gave one to my new hunting buddy that was with me, aren't I nice?

this is the only thing i Doug w/h the ace 250 within the first 5 minutes of being there!!!!! any ideas of age or type? it's copper of brass and very heavy.

I've got to many pictures to post so I will be adding to this post in a few moments.

Not sure about the sprocket but just guessing w/o seeing a better view that the comb may be a wool hand carder.
