Hidy to all, and hope yall finding more than I. Went back to the place I found the .57 cal. & 1808 to 1814 large cent. I found one more .69 cal. minie and some more buttons. Ant ever seen these kind eather maybe yall can shed some light on them. I was going to take a picture of the landscape I am hunting. I knew I would get to hunting and forget. I did get the out side diameter of the land I am hunting. Its 1.8 miles on the west side,, 1,1 miles north side,,1.6 miles oneast side & 1.5 miles on the south side,, so yall can figure out the acerage on that, I ant got time , I got finding where Forrest camped on my mind. And I dont think anyone will blame me for that, when it comes to N. B. Forrest. Will they Evan, Rebel,, CSA,, hotrod,, and all you C.W.

:clapping: Hey that's some good stuff CWnut- I'd be ecstatic if I found a 3 ring minie :) All I found when I went over next to Perryville Battlefield was a couple buttons, musketball and buckshot.

Of course you're used to finding lots of good stuff- good luck on your next hunt! I love seeing your finds thumbsup01

Good looking relics thumbsup01 Nice looking buttons. The decorated raised one seems pretty old, maybe even 1800's -1830's as a rough guess. That is a lot of land to hunt. It will keep you busy for at least 100 years lol

Hidy Cnut. It very well could be. I found it at the same place of the large cent . An old house place + next to an old road bed. I finely took some pic. of the place I am hunting today, will put them on next post.
