Here are some finds from yesterday that I made in a farm field where an old house used to stand. I was particularly happy to find the Civil War-era buckle shield, a first for me. I also found a trigger guard. Any ideas as to what type of gun it may have been from?
Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

Nice finds, I was out once this spring for about 1/2 hr, table spoon, mixing spoon and a old door hinge added to my collection. Checked out your You Tube, enjoyed the videos, encourages me to get out more.
