For those seeking buttons, belt buckles and other baubles. Owning them brings people closer to history. Thus, a collector’s markets quickly forms after every war. Usually the underdog side is the most coveted of the two. In the case of the Civil War, the Confederates. With the First Jewish War, it is the Jewish freedom coins that are coveted. Nothing changes, people collect the underdog.
The target on bases and camps is the relics left behind, typically buttons and coins, the odd buckle, bucket, bayonet, bullet, and other hardware that gets left behind.
