Extremely
rare and absolutely beautiful condition,
excavated "PAIR" of brass, Union Artillery
stirrups. Both stirrups are in excellent
condition with matching, uncleaned,
brown/green patina. These were recovered

excellent set of excavated cast brass
artillery
stirrups will make a fantastic compliment and
addition to your artillery collection.--$395.

Excavated
portion of a VERY rare "IOWA" lead hat pin.
This was recovered on private property near
Shiloh by Brant Arnold and is the "OWA"
portion of the hat pin. I have
absolutely NO DOUBT that Robert McDaniel could
restore this rare piece to display complete
and would look like a million bucks. In
complete condition these guys run something
like $500. to $600. This can be a
WONDERFUL display piece and at a price that a
young collector "cutting grass" could afford
!!--$125.

complete condition, Confederate Cavalry cast
brass spur. This spur was
recovered from a Confederate Cavalry camp in

These two artifacts are good examples of how
soldiers passed the time over the long weeks
and months spent in camp.--$75. for both

Very
pretty, excavated, large size, "Star in
Shield", lead-filled device that was inset and

chocolate brown patina on the face and full
lead fill in the reverse. It was

was found in an old log barn here at Stones
River located very near "Camp Stanley" which
was the Federal 1862 - 1863 Winter Camp for

very likely that this bit found its way to the
log barn from the massive Federal 1862 - 1863
winter Cavalry Camp so close by.--$250.
-
Beautiful
condition, excavated, Civil War combination
musket wrench. This musket tool was
excavated over 30 years ago from private
property near the Battle of Chickamauga,
Georgia, by Dr. Rees Buttram. The tool

folding screwdriver blade will still rotate.
This tool could easily still break a
Springfield musket down today.--$65.
-

rare to find, a beautiful excavated matching
set of "Allegheny Arsenal - #1" Federal
regulation issue, cast brass, cavalry spurs.
This set of spurs was recovered from the 1863

Allegheny Arsenal marked spur, and many times
more rare to recover a matching pair.--$350
for the pair.

Pair
of excavated, Federal Enlistedman, brass
shoulder epaulets. These are only
recovered from sites dating the first couple

much discontinued after that. These are

of this size have been excavated and are
hardly ever recovered now. The pair has
a nicely matching brown/green patina and will
be a quality addition to any excavated Civil
War relic collection.--$295 for the pair.
-
Quite
rare to recover (and super hard to find when
you need one) pair of excavated waist belt

a Confederate strip brass hook of the style

Excellent
condition, excavated, regulation, Federal
Cavalry spur. This spur was recovered on
private property from Camp Stanley, which was
the 1863 Federal Cavalry winter camp here at
Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The spur has an
interesting modification in that the standard
rowel has been replaced by a very sharp,
brass, spike like object. Apparently
this cavalry soldier had a horse requiring
"extra stimulation". I tried this on
Nita, and it really works (only once)!!--$65.
-

REALLY
COOL excavated Model 1842 .69 cal. entire
musket. The musket was recovered on
private property near New Kent Courthouse, VA.
The musket has been intentionally disabled by
wrapping it around a tree. It is
displayed in a very creative manner showing
exactly what occurred. This artifact
will need to picked up here at the store for a
couple of reasons. One, and the most
obvious, is that it is freaking huge,
measuring approximately 4 feet by almost 2
feet. Secondly, I am convinced that it
would destroy the display.--$495.SOLD
-
Excellent
condition, "semi"- excavated, regulation Union
Cavalry spur. This is an early 1900 era
battlefield pickup and is in such nice
condition the rowel will still turn.--$85.

.577 cal., Enfield triangular socket
bayonet. This bayonet is very rusty,
just as recovered. It was dug many

a wagon or canon wheel. In our current
era, it is quite rare to recover a complete
bayonet at all.--$95.
