Vicksburg Relic Display

[Tom Hughes]

While the weather is nasty, icy and cold outside, I put together a few relics I've dug onto a wood prop. Hope you enjoy the display.

Thanks @ucvrelics How is your hunting going so far?

Mines going pretty good. The farmer felt sorry for me and brought me a 4 wheeler as when it rains I can't into the back field and have to walk, I'm to old to walk. I did find a strange bird in a CS camp why would a dragoon button be in a CS camp. Oh did find another one of the puff CS I buttons and a few Enfields and round balls. The bell shaped seal is for another thread as its from the original French settlers.

@ucvrelics Nice haul!
I like the Dragoon and Infantry button. Is that a screw in your ATV’s tire?

That’s some good tilled dirt you have to hunt in!

Yes it is. When he bottom plowed which is the first time in many years it was so rough he could not furrow so he had to run a plow thing with spin type blades like an old push mower to smooth it out.

Is that a scew in your ATV’s tire?

I take it you mean screw, not that I could see but if it is I won't be pulling out.

 

[Stars in Their Courses]

Yes sir, that is what I meant. Guilty of posting without my glasses on lol.

@Tom Hughes Thanks for sharing this awesome photo! Just one question, is that a piece of Walnut cut off a tree with a chain saw?

Yes...it probably is....I just bought it at a store like that, though.

Is that a Minelab Equinox? I want to start metal detecting in the worse way. Maybe join a club.
