Myself and a couple buddies got out to a newly discovered Civil War camp this weekend, and managed to do pretty well! The site is massive! We were finding relics here and there in a 300 yard or so stretch. Finds were pretty sparse though, so it may not have been occupied for very long. Anyway, one of my buddies ended up finding two belt keepers on the first day, so we knew we were on the site. My other hunting buddy found a Springfield bayonet scabbard tip and a 3-ringer in the same hole. I got two dropped and two carved 3-ringers, a William's Cleaner bullet, two J-hooks, two button backs, and a carpet bag lock on the first day. The second day started with a dropped 3-ringer as my very first target, so that got us pumped. My very next target was something completely unexpected! I get a deep 70s signal on the AT Pro, and out pops this awesome little brass eagle! Any ideas what it is? I can't find anything like it! It's heavily gold plated on the front and there is a red stone or piece of glass in one of the eyes. It's a really cool little piece! The rest of the day went pretty slow after that, but I still managed to pull out two dropped and one fired 3-ringer, two William's Cleaner bullets, and some camp lead. In total we found 14 bullets, 6 button backs, 4 J-hooks, 2 flat buttons, two belt keepers, a scabbard tip, a carpet bag lock, and a bunch of camp lead. All in all it was a great weekend!
