Well, once again I feel very lucky to live in a part of the country where there are still some treasures to be rescued and respected. It has been so very hot that I got up at 4 am on Saturday and was swinging early. I even had to wear my light jacket for about an hour.
I Started out in one of my usual hotspots and it wasn't long before I hit pay dirt. I found 18 General Service Eagle Buttons and 2 I Eagle Buttons. (worn by Infantry Officers, I'm told) One of them is even 7/8 instead of 3/4.
Also I found a really cool tiny Crucifix that looks about as old as the other relics I'm finding, one unspent Cartridge and a suspender component. Not pictured was an old piece of iron wagon hitch, a toy gun & the 20th Eagle Button which I gave to the land owner. I'm telling you, these people are so accommodating and friendly, it blows my mind.
Thanks for looking and keep swinging.
