| Hard to believe it's been 13 years now since I owned this old "bullet buggy" but it was a good truck. These images were made in 2006, when we located a small portion of one of Confederate General Hindman's 1862 Camps, that had not been hunted to death yet. Dug some bullets, a Bust Dime, and super nice Confederate Lined -I- button. That truck sure brings back old memories, and the link on it goes to a few pictures of the campsite in late fall, early winter. |

| " Our camp was beautifully and pleasantly situated upon a ridge of woodland, with a small stream of good water flowing close by, and was called Camp Pritchard, as a tribute to the memory of that highly esteemed soldier. [Lt. Col. James A. Pritchard] We remained here about a month, when we were roused up one fine, frosty morning, at two o' clock, by the long roll, and ordered to prepare three days' rations, and hold ourselves in readiness to march at daylight." -Private Ephraim McDowell Anderson, Co. G, 2nd Missouri Infantry, First Missouri Brigade, C.S.A. - Camp near Holly Springs, Mississippi - October, 1862 - From the book, " Memoirs Historical And Personal Including the Campaigns of the First Missouri Confederate Brigade" - Edited by Ed Bearss |

| Here's a Nice M1857 "Drake Pattern" Socket Bayonet ! At first glance, if you didn't know better, you might think you were looking at a Confederate Fayetteville Arsenal Bayonet, but this one is actually for the Spanish Enfield. It is very similar though. A non-dug example, the metal on this one is in good condition, with the only noticeable marks being a 4 digit ID or rack number on top of the socket. Give it a look.

| Here is A Beautiful CF1 Civil War Period California Coat Button ! It's the one where Minerva's Spear point passes through the -E- in "Eureka." It still retains 95%+ of its original gold gilt, upright, intact shank and correct Scovill maker's mark. The device is all on a lined field, and it really makes this button look beautiful. Give it a look. Link at left goes to Non-dug Federal Buttons.
