Hidy to all and hope all are OK. Went to a place yesterday all day thing, but didnt find much. This is close to where N.B.Forrest camped the 23 & 24 of Dec. 1863, and was waiting on two or three more groups to meet him there. Dont think I found where they camped exactly but found a lot of old home places . This is all I found at three of those places. old bell,,spout,, buckle,, buckshot,, three rimshot shells,, four buttons overall I guess,, part of old locket,, .54 cal. ball,, .57 cal. minie,, .54 cal. sharpes,, and another large cent, couldnt get a date out of it. It is not like the 1846 LC. I found a month ago, dont think yall can tell me what yall think. I put a picture of both of them side by side so yall can see , What yall think, Is it the same ? Thanks for looking and good luck hunting.

Cool relics Earl.It's been so long since i found a large cent i almost forgot what they look like :envious:
Hope you can find that CS buckle with NBF engraved on it.
Those are some good finds.
Your latest Large Cent is an older Matron Head, than your previous, bit larger with a larger woman on it. Don't call her fat, she doesn't like it lol

Hidy Evan. If I find anything with his name on it, you will be able to here me all the way to middle Ten. Might even smell me a little, Ha.

Looks like a great hunt to me :clapping: Congrats on the Large Cent. It is a Matron Head (1816-1836) Older than your other one for sure. Some good looking relics there thumbsup01
