Here are some more from my collection - some of my stuff is at my Dad’s in his gun safe lol. This first bit you’ll see “US” buttons - these are pewter and from the same site as the Light Dragoons buckle is from. This entire case is from that site. There is one pewter infantry “I” in there. This case is roughly 1/4 of the buttons that came from that US War of 1812 campsite

This case contains mostly civil war stuff, the military buttons are all yankee. Some infantry and some artillery. Also, there are a few bullets - mostly .58 cal - and percussion caps, etc. . Dad and I have been metal detector for probably 15-20 years around here. We have found so much stuff... but you never find it all!




Burnside (partial, missing the case). Dad has a complete one he found.


Complete, undamaged, Civil War Spencer Round


Yankee Eagle button (tons of these)
