Well I ain't got much but what I got I am proud of having. This is some of my better stuff. I do tend to give away a lot of my bullets and such along the way. Landowners and curious passerby folks are always appreciative of a bullet or two...whether shot or dropped.
Case 1 = Misc bullets from the Civil War. They are my dropped and carved bullets. Some are yankee bullets (most of the 3 ring .58 caliber ones are dubbed yankee bullets). The ones at the bottom are my true Confederate bullets...Enfields. Then there are some carved bullets in there as well. They liked cutting the bottom part of the bullets off. I guess to a bored soldier, those grooves made a nice place to put a knife blade. Not shown are hundreds of shot bullets I keep in coffee cans.
Case 2 = Misc camp litter. You got pocket knives, rosette, bayonet scabbard, harmonica reeds, and a few period rings. There are also two half dimes in there...1851 and 1858.
Case 3 = "Common" yankee eagle buttons. Cuff, coat, and vest sizes. Some are general service (plain shield) some are Infantry (I in shield). Most all of mine from around here are the green color and most of what I find these days are either falling apart, smashed flat, or just the backs.
Case 4 = My "gooderun" buttons. Yeah they aren't many in this case but you're looking at $300+ in buttons in this case. You got a Confederate VMI button. A Pennsylvania National Guard staff officer button, and a yankee staff officer cuff button. The cuff button ain't all that rare but it is my first staff officer button so it is getting royal treatment right now.
Case 5 = More Misc stuff. You got arrowheads in this one. Got some more modern buttons...from the Indian War of the 1870s to WW 2 era. Also some percussion caps from the Civil War @ Wheeler's Raid. Some knapsack J hooks and other pieces like that.
Case 6 = Carrie's case of arrowheads that she just brought out to tease y'all with. She didn't want to go through the shoe boxes full that she has of the arrowheads, pottery pieces, and all that good stuff. I'm glad she didn't either because I'm tired of copy and pasting picture links. LOL.
ALL relics were found on PRIVATE PROPERTY with LAND OWNER'S PERMISSION!!! In TN, GA, and VA.
