Very nice Keith, very sweet finds!

nice buttons Keith

Nice finds Keith.----I always like seeing Civil War relic finds but it always makes me sad thinking of all our fine men on both sides that lost their lives in that war.----It's just nice to see that you (and others) are finding/saving those little pieces of American history.---------Del

Great digs!

Great day with great finds. Thanks for sharing.

I love the Nel Snake coil on my F75 also. I think the Nel coils perform better than the Fisher coils. Nice digs Keith!

Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby, you're the best…

OK, you're not James Bond, but I love how you bailed us out of the "litter box"!

Happy Hunting

Great finds Keith. Ironically though...relics that would have never been produced or in north GA had it not been for a political disagreement resulting in a war

Outstanding finds Keith.

What is a T2-C, would the C stand for classic?

Nice finds, Keith, congrats on the confederate stuff especially. How long you been huntin' that site? Woods? Farm field?

Does an archeologist argue with a plow? A bureaucrat with a bulldozer?

Thanks Fellas

Wayne..

Ive hunted for about 20+ years...

But there's a catch,...they have logged the site for a subdivision...

Its a old house site remains back in the woods thats been cut through with logging skidders....probably a 1850 till 1920s house site...alot of melted aluminum in it..

Been hunting it since they cut through it about a month..Tons of Guys swinging it so have to get between the dig holes...So far since logging dug about 40 bullets and a few coins and junk buttons and a some sort of field cast pewter high dome button...

not sure but looks like a Reb had it LOL!!
