This may be the last trip to this location in the woods this season. It's copperhead and rattlesnake area and the bush and greenery is making it difficult to be aware of those critters, as well as the tick issue. I returned yesterday and pulled a few more keepers. Along withother misc items, I recovered a civil war era styled jack knife, a convex button, and a fired .44 rimfire Henry (I think) cartridge case. The button is backmarked Imperial Quality, and what I found is it was most likely a British made button. The cartridge case has a headstamp CDL (C D Leet). An Internet search shows that particular headstamp was only used 1864-65 before C. D. Leet sold out.
