Virgin Confederate Site packs a BIG Southern Punch

Hello Guys, this post is the result of a weekend scouting hunt with my buddy James Bibb. The location was a prospective site we were looking at and so we went to

do some 'prospective' digging...all the while knowing that a handful of Confederate buttons had already been found at this site. After putting a few detectors down

to the ground, we quickly realized that this site was virgin we thought, and mostly Confederate as we were hoping for. Sites like these are definitely a treat and

few and far between. This represents the best of the finds from a very long day of digging.
















Finds: NC Sunburst, Virginia Tongue (Spoon portion) to a Tongue and Wreath Buckle, 2 Block I's, South Carolina (this button found a mile from site near the house), CS Staff, One-piece Virginia, Virginia Cuff and a CSA Coat.










Happy Hunting!

Would have to pack a lot of underwear to hunt a site like that ...... guarantee almost any of those buttons would have required a trip to the creek and an underwear change. Beyond words hunt right there.

Thanks TNGUNS, of all the campsites I've dug, this is definitely one of the best I've been on. We had a great time and saved some great history

Congrats on some awesome finds Sentinel! Wow..Unreal!

Thanks Zax, it was a personal banner day for us no doubt, a very fun day of digging and preserving history

I would say the most outstanding handful I have ever seen. My jealousy runs deep on this one.

Hey CW fanatics - don't you think all of these in ONE day deserves banner? I'm stumping for it!

Thanks Parson, maybe the Civil War relic moderators are off for the weekend

Thanks Westfront, the big Virginia Seal in the middle is part of a belt buckle actually, although it does look like a giant button laying there

JOSH!!! Holy Crap buddy, you guys killed it brother. What an awesome hunt and all CONFEDERATE!! I see Virginia was well represented on that site. The banners have been few and far lately. I found two presidential buttons in three weeks and only a mention here and there (Andrew Jackson and William H. Harrison) 1829 & 1840. You have stayed busy and I see the wife got in on some of the action, how she do? Hope things are going well, take care!
