Slave Trade Bracelet
A good friend that I go relic hunting with, found this bracelet at a Civil War Show in Vicksburg Mississippi. It came out of a gentleman’s collection who has had it for almost 50 years. This one is solid copper and weighs over 4 lbs. The biggest slave trade bracelet we have ever seen. What a great addition to my collection.
Dug Wedding Ring
This wedding ring was dug in the town of Centreville VA. It is located in the top North-East corner of Virginia, only about 20 miles from Washington DC. Centreville stayed heavily fortified by the Confederacy using it as a supply depot during the war.
Dug Celtic Cross
This beautiful silver Celtic Cross was dug in the Nashville TN. area. It has no marks on the back of it for me to be able to put a date on it. I had no idea it was silver until I took it to the jewelry store to get it cleaned and checked. What a beautiful find.

Dug Ring
Although this is not a Civil War era ring, the history behind it is amazing. This ring was dug on the banks of the Volga River in Russia. Along with finding this ring, a lot of 11th Century Viking relics were recovered around the same location. It is made of bronze. What a great piece of history to find. I say it a lot, but boy, the stories this ring could tell.

It took awhile, but I finally was able to find a dug wedding ring from Gettysburg. I got this one from a collector in Pennsylvania who was parting out with his Civil War collection. He said he dug this one back in the late 60’s.
