    Help with an Eagle Button (again)?

    Back in the day, there was a wave of patriotism and women were making belts out of those. Yours is just one of the links in that belt. Nice find. Notice the button has never had a shank in it.

    Post Civil War Eagle button

    You button is a post civil war button. They were made from 1876 to 1902. The wings on your button are more pronounced as is the crest. Also the angle of the wings are different from civil war era buttons.

    HELP IDing

    I don't see anything there that could be called civil war. But that doesn't mean they didn't come from that era, or even a piece of equipment used in the war. The first piece looks to be off an old door lock, but that's a guess. The hook, no idea. The chain links are interesting in that the...

    Not sure, Could it be a Colonial cuff link?

    I agree, it's one half a very old cufflink. Thinking it is colonial is a good date range. I have never found one of those and always wanted to. Very nice find.

    Bomb civil war

    The problem with not disarming a shell could be legal. State laws differ, but in TN we can own the shells, but if there was a house fire and a shell blew up, any injuries to fire crews or others would be your responsibility.

    Got in a short hunt the other day. It was fun.

    That's some pretty impressive finds. Good chance there could be a plate in there. Good luck.

    Encampments

    I have hunted for 35 years. I have only been on one site that was a "known" site. The relics were there but no one was ever able to get permission from the caretaker. So I decided to go over his head and was able to obtain permission. Our first day there we dug over 100 drops. But we spend...
