Camp Trenton

[Civil War Nut]

Hidy to all . Went to Trenton to see if the farmers were getting the beans off my hunting spots . On the way back out of town I could see dust where Camp Trenton was supposed to be near . So I went to one of the fields that was near the Railroad . The first picture with the tree is where I found all this stuff about 30 yards from the tracks . Dont know what the old cross is for it is made of lead , The button ant enough to tell the time period , a half of something brass , the bottom left cleaned up like pure silver , 1849 large cent , and my first 1852 silver three cent piece . I kind-of liked that . Wanted to do the little dance ,but yall wont show me how to do it right . Good luck to all . I didnt clean the silver up like always because the next time my hunting buddy wants to go hunting with me , I am going to take the 1853 , 2-1/2 dollar gold piece ,the 1849 penny , and the 1852 three cent piece with me and pull a good one on him , I just love messing with his brain . Ever time I do that he is ready to go home Ha .

Hey those are some nice finds there! You found something else Holy besides the Cross, The large cent. I have a 1856 3center. It was a strange find, I thought it was a tiny button at first until I saw it better in the sunlight. Such a thin little sucker. It amazing how they retain their detail.

Here's some amazing facts about the 3 center silver : They were used to pay for a stamp. The 3 cent piece was a legal tender coin. The One Cent wasn't legal tender until 1864 under the Legal Tender Act of 1864. Another thing, who would want to pay with a higher silver piece to only be paid back in Copper Cents. Also, the Nickel wasn't made until 1866. Even then the 5 cent stamp was used for overseas mailing ( 3 cents for domestic plus 2 cents for ship to shore fee).

Happy hunting :)

Fantastic finds, I would have loved to have seen that Three center come out of the ground. Looking forward to more of your posts.
