As I stated in my last thread, I had my eye on an area near Harpers Ferry. These are the items I found in two days of a couple hours of hunting. The nice three ringer is one of the most perfect I have ever found as is the Sharps bullet. I think the Sharps is actually a Richmond labs style sharps. I found it doing one of my field habits that finally paid off. Anytime I come across a fallen tree I detect the bottom of the roots and dirt and the hole it was planted in. Oddly, at the end of the roots where there was significant dirt I got a solid iron signal. I kicked some of the dirt away and saw the end of the Sharps bullet sticking out. The iron signal was still in the dirt but then I got the good tone of the bullet too before I plucked it out. The triangle and hook are typical pieces to a soldiers backpack. I also found a flat button with "double gilt" on the back and a typical eagle union general service button from a kepi or cuff. Also found were some other bullets including a Williams cleaner bullet, and a lantern piece.
