Silver Civil War POCKET SPILL!!

[umrgolf]

I went out this morning around 10AM in search of a new campsite on this very large property I've been hunting the last three days. I decided to stop by the area where the Eagle "I" cuff came from yesterday, and very glad I did! I have found randomly dropped Civil War era coins, but never anything like this.......















I recently found a Civil War map of my region and there are Union tent lines shown on the exact property I've been hunting. There was quite a bit of activity here aside from the camps, but no battles. Roughly 15,000-20,000 men were around here the entire Civil War.

I'm using an Iphone 4, Monty. It took some getting used to, but while you're filming, you simply tap the screen on the area where you want to zoom and WALA Thanks

Excellent recovery Jeff. Tough to find one CW era coin let alone 4. I would have nominated it for the banner if it wasnt already up there..
