Civil War Discoveries

28 Jan 2012

My last trip out I dug ten 69 caliber drops, all deep, ranging from eight to 15 inches. The coin mold was with the 69's, you can make out the impression of a Seated Quarter in it. The brass Saddle Shield is marked, size 12. The brass healplate has the corps insignia. That Civil War soldier left his Corps insignia in every step he made in the dirt, he would have been easy to track! I also dug a period brass daguerreo type frame in nice condition. One of my favorite finds is the period brass stencil, you can see the letter T is all that remains. In the center the brass latch looking item is a from the earliest fall hunt, it's a fastening device for a shoulder scale to attach to a civil war uniform, next to it is a period brass musket side plate.
