Sword HandleI'm just now getting a chance to post what I found yesterday afternoon. Well, I got back to the camp and found a few bullets pretty quickly. Right before dark I had a very good signal and pulled this sword handle from the soil. I just hope I can find some more of it...the grass is starting to get high here so it is really making it hard to detect.
Thanks for looking! |

Fantastic find! You've been tearing it up on that spot lately. Break out the mower or weedeater if you have to. 
I wish I had some reference books on swords as I don't, but It sure looks like a Model 1860 calvary saber. Take a look at this picture from shiloh relics below. First pic I could find doing a search for one. Brian http://www.shilohrelics.com/image...-49FD-A638-B0A6601F0285%7D_10.jpg |

Thanks! I agree that it is a 1860 calvary saber. I looked at the same site when I found it....shilohrelics is a good site and I'm going to try and visit their physical location soon....my wife has never seen Shiloh battlefield and is wanting to go for a visit. |
