2 1/2 yrs later CW Relic Complete
April 10, 2013 02:37AM
Story starts 2 1/2 yrs ago when I got permission to hunt old homesite built in 1893. Little did I know a confederate Veteran once lived there. First I dug his Reunion Badge 1895 Houston Texas.
Then a while later I dug his Conferedrate Snake Buckle but it was missing one of the Keepers.
To Make a long story short after 2 1/2 yrs of using dozens of different detectors and coils.
Trying everything in my arsenal past and present. Today with a sratchy choppy tone on my Tesoro Cutlass II Umax w/ 5.75 coil attached.
Amongest the Iron trash I unearthed the missing keeper. Now my Civil War Confederate snake buckle is complete. Good day for me.

Contracts on a great complete set. You really earned that one. Anyone who never got into relic hunting has no idea what a great find you have there.

Thanks Guys
I don't dig alot of CW relics but completeing this one was special as I had basically given up on ever finding the missing piece.
Tesoro's work good in nails around old homesites.

Not into relic hunting but you sure have a complete piece of history my friend.

This ought to tell coin and jewelry hunters something....find a good coin drop your disc. down to 0 and scour the hole as many have more than one good coin.
Find a gold medallion do the same as the chain may be in the hole also....
