That bell and brooch are killer! You had a great hunt! 👍

If I am not mistaken, that is a post-Civil War stamped brass Militia Artillery plate. It would have had an applied tongue and belt loop on it.

....if only that clenched fist button could talk, imagine the stories it couldd tell :eek: ... Super nice variety of goodies!

That's pretty!

Look how pretty LIBERTY is... That's a great find!

🤩 🤩 :eek: 🤩🤩

Greetings .. and welcome to the forum. .. I'm back from a two-year hiatus myself. It's been too hot and humid for this old man to do much detecting, but it gives me ample time for research and getting my equipment back in order. There should be some good spots there in NC! Good luck!

Greetings and welcome to the forum. I have heard the GPZ 7000 is "stock perfect." What are the mods and what were they supposed to enhance?

Nice tour of Bucknut Mini Museum! Beautiful artifacts! Thanks for sharing.

Dang .. those are fantastic .. a collection to be mighty proud of! 👍

Just gotta love those buttons. 🤩 Thanks for sharing!

Was that Lawrence Christopher, aka Lawrence of Dalton, who disarmed your shell? If so, he was a good man. Anyhow, your Hotchkiss looks amazing, and having one that is still intact is over-the-top awesome. 🤩

That is a wonderful display of quality goodies. The buttons are beauties, even if somebody did take a bite out of the one!:)

Holy smokes..That's some serious coinage! Love that Block I, too. Well done.

Nice locket. Looks great after the cleaning.

I just learned this morning that Governor Samuel Huntington I, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, is my second cousin with seven steps removed.

Those are always neat finds! However, the heart design is not typical of issued military gear, which makes it less likely to be official Civil War equipment and more likely of civilian origin. There has also been some speculation that these harness buckle covers date to the 1870–1900 period.

Cool finds! Those are clock weights,

...trying to get back in the saddle. I hope everybody is doing well.!
