I did a little relic hunting today after work. I found a New York state button & a few bullets. The one Gardner is carved. HH

Short Hunt

Congrats on the nice finds!! It's been a while since I found a button. I gave it a shot today at a place I haven't hunted for years. I only came up with a round ball and a small 2 ring minie possibly CW. I found a Gardner recently that was carved as well. The one I found had the center ring carved out of it.
 
Awesome hunt. I can't manage to ever go after work. The wife makes sure of that. :laughing::grin:

Nice NY button!
 
Nice mix of relics, it's sweet to find yankee and confederate stuff in a short time.

I know its a confederate camp. We find federal relics there a lot. The confederates camped there on the way in to Gettysburg & its the retreat rout also. We find Indian artifacts there also. Must have been a good camping spot for a long time. This spring I found a Virginia coat button at a federal 2nd corps head quarters. Go figure that one. I think they all took souvenirs. I think the Confederates used what they could get there hands on.
