Went out today and had a nice day. Got some bullets, including 2 star based, Washington Arsenal ones. I don't know what that one bullet is. It measures approx. .554 in diameter. Got 2 eagle "I" buttons, and some button backs. One is really neat. It is a one piece, convex eagle "I", with the "I" on a small shield. Scovills/Waterbury backmark. And that is a sword hanger in the middle of the first pic.

Looks like you had a few Rebs on that spot also.
If there was, they would have likely been prisoners.

You found some nice stuff buddy. You've gotta love when a new spot works out. HH
Yes. I was kinda somewhat expecting it. The 2 adjoining properties were extremely nice to me.

Awesome finds, BTY, I'm just looking out for you, but instead of labeling your spots with numbers, you will be better off labeling your spots with longitude and latitude coordinates so you can find it in the future. Also just copy and paste the into your subject line will save some keystrokes and prevent carpel tunnel syndrome.
Just looking out for you VA-REB.

Ok,ok I had to try and practice on someone so I could see if it would work on guys closer to me.
Can't believe it wasn't believable
But seriously nice finds.

What does the base of the bullet in question look like...

Hard to beat a good day in a good spot, congrats on the finds!

It looks like this. Looking at it under magnification, it seems maybe the base has been cut, or that center space hollowed out with something.

Unless my old eyes fail me, you have a Gardner in there.

Great digs, buddy! I think the carved bullet does look like an acorn -- very cool! That is a nice button too. Glad your new spot is living up to the expectations!
