Went out yesterday for the last diving trip of the season. We have been pounding this this Civil War camp all summer and it's still producing the finds. It was a good day, guess we'll end the season on a high note.
I found 14 bullets in all: nine .58 Minnie Balls, one .69 Minnie, three .69 musket balls, and one Sharps Carbine bullet. Also got a a few percussion caps, a nice pewter canteen spout and a perfect eagle coat button. Got some odds and ends also and perhaps the front of a plain 2 piece brass button?
There's still relics to be found here, but I'm gonna save them for next year. I'm ready to hit the land and enjoy the great Fall weather.
Happy Hunting!
