Got into a long term camp spot in Mississippi and found some goodies! Eagle cuff buttons, Maynard bullets and cartridge and some “Yankee big penny’s “ (Maynard cartridge tops). Spoon bowl, broken knife, toe tap and broken dishes, bottles.. coolest find was what I believe to be a carbine cleaning jag! (At bottom)

Went up to Tennessee on a yearly trip to dig with friends! Had a great time .. dug from sun up to sundown! Here’s some of the history saved from first and second day! Enfields, big ole .69s and other pieces of camp lead.

Been a while since I posted.. summer heat and accident
At work have kept me from digging.. did go to an old “hunted out” spot and found a few trinkets including my first Wisconsin state button! Also a few bullets , shoulder scale key, a general
Service eagle button and an iron buckle. Not bad for a hunted out spot! Squirrel finding a nut I guess 😂

Too hot to dig right now without getting a sun stroke like I almost did last week!! So, decided to make another display case from history I saved in the Vicksburg area..

Finally got out again after 3.5 weeks because we had a cooool front of 96 and 70%humidity! Whoo hoo!

Found a few relics that made me smile 😃 .. 6 -.58 3 ringers and one was a pulled bullet,camp lead, pocket knife, axe head , a broken pan.. and a piece of brass.

It was hot 🥵 but worth getting out for a bit and finding some civil war history!

I recently shared pictures of me puzzle piecing this boreman artillery shell back together.. This was my first to try and reconstruct… Learned some lessons for sure!

1. After doing electrolysis and cleaning up, put them together before the gemplers or rust converter. Coating them before makes it more difficult to align pieces…

2. Make sure you have something to secure the pieces with as the glue dries or the pieces will shift as this one did around area where boreman fuse would have gone…

3. Make sure you got all the pieces 😂… looks like I left some in the hole as I’m a few pieces short!

But hey! Looks better than a bunch of pieces laying around!
