I thought you guys might like this, my buddy Weaver found this a few weeks ago. We were hunting in

an area with a lot of civil war action south of Louisville. We didn't have a clue what it was at the time.

Someone on another forum id'ed it for us. It's the same size as a half dollar.

This is why I love this hobby, just think, a German immigrant fighting for the Union carved this and

then lost it, I wish it could talk.

Now that is a great find and by the elongated hole at the top, it looks like it was worn for a long time before it was lost.



Bells and whistles are nice, but nothing will substitute for the basic understanding of the hobby.
