Here are my DIV XVII finds from Beauregard Farm. It sure was fun hunting with Bubba, Doc, and Keith.
The day before flying home to Florida Keith and I stopped to get gas and then took our leashe diggers and scrapped about 2 pounds of red dirt mud from each wheel well onto the Sam's Club stations parking area. We then drove to a car wash where the rest of the mud was power blasted off. That's two businesses where I'm sure we are no longer welcome to return.
2 dropped mini's .57 ? One a Sharps?
3 fired mini's .57
1 carved mini . Has the top point cut off flat
1 staff officers cuff, lots of gold guilt still evident, plus the back from the same cuff button
1 fired Burnside cartridge end
2 eagle coat buttons complete
2 button backs, same size as eagle coats.
1 cartridge box flap finial, likely confederate according to Keith's relic book.
1 bayonet scabbard tip, not crushed with a bit of leather still inside
2 32 cal pistol bullets, one fired, one dropped
1 case shot / round ball
1 small flat button
2 artillery frags (found on the hill above the small pond up towards Stewarts Road)
1 flat brass decorative piece, perhaps saddle decoration
