An Hours worth of finds from Saturday.

I hit the little camp that I found the US coat button at. This is also the place where I found 6 or 7 old catholic medals. It had rained a little and that made digging easier and the signals a little better.

The item on the right is a ramrod guide for an Indian trade Musket. The center item is suppose to be a sight for the same type of Indian trade rifle. Also got my second thimble from the site, those are allways a neat find. Not bad, I hope I can get back and hit it somemore before the grass grows.



Close up of the guide.



Thanks for looking!

Nice work IHM!

I saw your post on the Indian Artifact forum the other day about the ramrod guide.

Where there's thimbles, there's usually.... buttons!

Cool musket piece.

any other buttons come out of this site (other than the US coat)?

3 flats and the US Coat. I've only hunted the site for about 6 hours total, so there are likely some more in there. The ground had been hard so I haven't been digging the iffy signals till this last hunt. I'll probably put at least 6 more hours into the site, if it keeps producing like this I will hunt until I stop getting good targets. The pocket of good targets is only about 40 yards square, so the area has been covered well.

Nice!! Sounds like an old site IHM.
