Very nice find John! I have been relic hunting for 11 years and still not dug an Eagle C. Found lots of I's, D's and A's but the C and R Eagles elude me! Funny thing is that 9 of my years digging were in the Winchester and Berryville Va. area and since moving to NC have dug more buttons here!!!! I do miss the Shenandoah Valley though! Much better hunting there! Maybe next time I am up that way we can hunt together! Good luck on your next outing!

hi nb digger rumer has it there was a ny camp in the right field and a confederate camp in the back field. looks like the rumer is true. miss john has dug a confederate staff button out of the back field. each field is 10 acres so its gonna take some time.

Really nice find! Hope your suspicions are confirmed and you find some more!

Very nice find John! Now go out and dig up the rest! Looking forward to more pics.

All the best,

Persistence pays off! Hit that place hard and if you need any help just let me know.

That is a fantastic find. I have only done a little relic hunting and no such luck as that. Maybe one of these days I will concentrate more on the relics and start making some nice finds like that. WTG
