This button I recently purchased from a friend that had gotten it from a Hampton, Virginia
relic hunter. I was told it came from the vicinity of Hampton Military Institute. It
is a low convex button and has an Extra Rich, Orange Colour backmark. |

This button I recently dug in a new early war camp my hunting partners and I
found in Suffolk, Virginia. Along with this button there were also flat buttons, cut
Reales, Spanish Cobs and a multitude of clay pipe stems and pipe bowls. |
This is a nice
item sent in by Ken & Connie Holcomb, of an 1853 calendar coin. It has the same thing
on both sides and was produced by J.B. Hyde of Fulton St. New York (Publisher) It
also reads "According to Act of Congress In the Year 1851 by T.B. Person in the
Clerks Office of the District Court of the Southern District of New York" and
appears to be brass with some gilting still on it. |
![]() The Breast Plate to the left was found in Suffolk, Virginia by Chuck Liles. The only thing we haven't figured out is to which regiment it belongs to. If anyone can help please email me any information you may have. |
![]() The bullet you see to the left is a 36 caliber and possibly from a Pepperbox Pistol. If you have ever seen or know what type of bullet it is please email me the information. I found this one in a Federal winter camp near Petersburg, Virginia. |
