In hunting inland lakes I just don't go to swim areas, I hit parts of the whole lake. In one lake in Oakland County I stumbled upon a bunch of interesting items from after the Civil War.
First the bullets. 45 and 45-70 all dated between 1883 - 1896. 19 45's and 3 45-70's on a drop-off. The buttons and the bayonet US holder button and the bayonet and the eagle were in the same spot alomg with two very old gold rings, one with a latin inscription inside. The eagle is suspect that it came from the same era.
Still trying to find a cannon.
