I have posted a few threads in the coinshooters section. I recently got permission for 220 acres of farmland. My research shows 3-4 colonial houses once stood there. I have been doing very well in one spot. But I am wondering if I stumbled on a Civil War camp that is undocumented. All the coins except one have been dated 1857-1864. They are a 2 cent, 5 fatty Indians, 1 normal indian, 2 flying eagles. Also have found a Dragoon button, an infantry button and an 1863 CW token. Is this consistent with a CW camp or could it just have been a soldier or 2 from the war living here. Finding an infantry and dragoon button have me leaning towards a small camp.
