RR finds! Confederate Staff Button, Va Button, US Boxplate, Flying Eagle Cent!!!!

[flyinryan2]

I had an awesome three days in Culpeper at the Relic Rescue digging with some great folks! It was a weekend of firsts for me! The Va button (a first) was my second good find on Friday morning followed shortly by the awesome Box Plate (a first). That evening I dug the Scabbard tip (a first) to finish day one out. Day two started off with the Confederate Staff Button (a first), I just turned on the detector and walked a few feet and there it was. Amazing!! An hour or so later I spotted the flint point up under some cedars to top off my already amazing hunt so far. On the third day I got a .54 cal Gardener, a 1857 Flying Eagle Cent (a first), and the NY cuff button. I ended up with just 3 bullets, a few musketballs, two carved bullets?, a mushroomed bullet and camp lead. A few brass items, toe tap, and the ox Knob (thanks James). A huge thanks to David once again and everyone who helped with the hunt, I had a blast!! Thanks for looking and HH!!

I would bet it was perfect before it did. It sucks but happens. Great dig those CS staffs are hard to come by

Yea unfortunately I did hit the plate, the area was so trashy I couldn't pinpoint and it sounded like a deep bullet. I was shocked when this big oval piece came out of the ground!
Thanks everyone! I was told the CS Staff button is an extremely rare find!

You didn't get that ringtail sharps, so you know what that means...you're gonna throw all the other finds away! That's what you said. lol No, but good hunt. Not a whole bunch of lead, but you found a lot of QUALITY finds. As I know with the DIV, I was lucky to find a plate on my 3rd one and some still haven't found one and they've done all 23. And you found one on your FIRST time to a relic hunt...pretty damn lucky! Congrats on that CS officer button...that's a great one.

Thank you everybody!

It was very nice meeting you also Mark, it was cool watching you guys digging those fire pits. The way the pits were all in a row like that it really helps you picture how the camps may have been laid off.
