Seated Silver, Bayonet, Saxhorn!

[BuckleBoy]

Hello All!

Catching everyone up on some holiday digging! We made some great finds, check out the video:



In this video you’ll see some sweet Seated silver and great civil war relics, including a bayonet surface find, military brass band mouthpiece made in Germany or Austria-Hungary for a tenor or baritone saxhorn (these were popular in the CW since their over-the-shoulder bells allowed the music to be easily heard while marching). The photo of a Yankee soldier in uniform with a baritone saxhorn is from the Smithsonian. Also—an eagle button surface find, M1859 spur, and more.

Cheers,

Buck

You did great as usual! You're lucky to find that bayonet on top. I bet you had left it where it was if you only hed this rusty iron signal... Great save!

Thanks so much for your reply my friend! I actually clear iron from my fields. If it’s larger than a nail it’s coming out of the ground! That’s why we’ve dug four double barrel shotguns since mid November
