Keith......that CSA buckle. It is shaped just like the one my other digging buddy (he was using an ACE250 and that is all he will use...) found in the woods were him and I were detecting. Here real close to town. Apparently the site of a small skirmish. His was identified as a Tennessee style......or Tennessee "make" or something of that order. He hit his so hard with his shovel that it scraped it down to the brass. It was still valued at 23 or 24 hundred bucks!!!!!! You have got some great finds there. I'd give $200 to go on a guided trip with you!!!! LOL
Very nice digs Keith. What is the round object on the left side of the picture?

Nice, but what does the wife say about all that old stuff on her cutting board? I definitely would have been barked at, if she caught me.

Good eye on the buckle...its a slight variation of te Tennessee style...this one is Alabama Thin....it was found in a Known Alabama cavalry spot....one of the stirrups in the pic was under it about another foot down...

P.S. Kevin no charge if you ever get down this way....

ELBERT

round object is a rossette with a man riding a horse on it.....found in a same spot as the lead Heart in the middle of the pic....this spot was a KNOWN Texas cavalry Spot....9th Texas to be exact...Ross' Brigade...The heart is Field made by a soldier....it is of the Cavalry Heart design with three initials on it 1 on each lobe and 1 on the botom point....the initials are R....H....C .......I speculate Ross Horse Cavalry....Priceless to me nad even some local collectors who want to opbtain it but cant LOL!!!

RAY

Thanks... Heck theres alot of goodies in California....I'll bet alot of yalls spurs are of the iron variety...cowboy styles....still cool...!!!

One of my favorite finds in the pic is the Confederate C button...its my only REB C...in this area they are tought to find...Too deep South and late war to produce many...But I alwasy wanted one....Troy X5 got that one along with a Civil War Georgia State Seal button the week before same spot...

Funny story on the center Piece ....its a Colt Pistol powder flask.. has the eagle on it with cannons and stars...Right after I dug it I laid my machine down...Older fisher 1236...My buddy was still hunting and got into a nest of yellow Jackets....He jumped in his truck and took off and ran over my machine...I was just glad he did not run over the flask!!!!!.....I had to peel the machine out of the dirt as it was mashed in....turned it on and it ran fine..!!!try that now a days...

Keith
Awesome saves Keith. I would be tickled finding just one of those items. The powder flask is my favorite.
Corey
Nice work, what brand backhoe do you use? You must be a digging machine! God bless you, Keith!
