Default This weekends Civil War relics. Double Eagle

I got to go out this weekend and feed my addiction. I found 2 eagle buttons, a sword hanger, 4 three ringers, some round balls, a small carved bullet that is cone shaped, and an old knife. The knife and 1 round ball came out of the same plug.
Not the best CW relics I have found but still a great weekend to be out.

Man i had to clean the drool off my keyboard! I heard anywhere in your state is a good place for CW relics. I live in a good location but just have not had enough time in the field. Only been out 2x.

I would have thought you could find some CW relics in South Carolina. Check out some maps of the Civil War. Good luck
