Found on the outskirts of a Union civil war camp on private land in a small yard.
I detected the union camp several years ago and found some very good bullets there.
Recently I met a man at his yard sale who lived up the street where that old camp was. I asked for permission and he said for me to have at it!
I found the obvious clad and some wheats. Then old button....I am assuming it is a button or maybe part of an old broach.
Then I got what I thought was a musket ball......it looks like a musketball. Then after I get home I see a hole drilled through it.
No other fishing weights were found. You can clearly see the casting marks around the center.
There is a pond located in the middle of the union camp but I do not know how far back it dates and I would say this was found about a half mile east of that camp.
The quarter is for reference.
I do not have any musket balls that are exactly this size but very close to the same size.
What do you guys think??
