Hidy to all and hope all are well. Got permisson to hunt on about 1000 acres of land near where Camp Trenton might be. The man that has the land said his Great Grand Fathers old house place was on the land. Ha was a Captain in the C.S.A. He enlisted in Ark. got captured and sent to N. Ind. to a Conf. prison. This is what I found the first day I hunted the field. Went back today it will be on the next post.This is what I found All the buttons will be returned to this man because it belonged to ths family he will be glad to have. The first button has already been returned. Civil War infantry button,, what might be part of a sword or knife,, indian rocks,, two parts of watch one with the front of a train,, part of gun trigger guard or went to the knife,, gold plated long round something,, and other stuff. nex post has more buttons and coins. Thanks for all your comments. H.H.
