CASE #
|
LOCATION WHERE ITEMS WERE FOUND
|
|
Case 1
|
Carl stored these items in a tin can. No notes were provided.
|
|
Case 2
|
Carl stored these items in a plastic box. There was a note that buttons were found in Baton Rouge and Donaldsonville in 1994 and 1995; however,
there were no buttons in this box. Carla suspects that her father had been in the process of rearranging his collection and that the buttons to which he
referred in this buttons were actually those he had stored in Case 6. Club pictures confirm that the Madonna &
Child figurine found in fields of St. Emma Plantation (Site 5)
|
|
Case 3
|
Items placed in this shadow box by Carl, though there were no notes in the box. In a meeting on January 9, 2010 with Linda and Calvin Wiggs, Linda noted
that the items in this box dated from the 1800's to the 1840's. One item also dated to the War of 1812 because it bore markings similar to that of an item in
Albert's button book (page 23, G1 38). She noted that the ones with LA on it were most likely to be dated after the Civil War.

|
Case 4
|

|

look through club records to see if the date can be verified.

|
Carl stored these items in a ziplock bag (labeled by Carla as Bag G; within Bag G were two smaller bags, see Case 24 and 23). No notes were found in this bag; however, there was an identification tag with Bargon, LA on it. In an email from Linda Wiggs, she
said "I looked up Barton La and it is in Ascension Parish of of Bayou Lafourche. This case probably came from a field down there from our club sites. That makes sense with the amount of marbles that would have to have been picked up from the top of the ground, not by a metal detector! We could verify the area by seeing what location the Mardi Gras token came from."
