🥇 BANNER 1833 Slave Tag in Charleston

[DirtStalker]

Went to Charleston to visit my sister this weekend as a late Christmas. Carolina Tom(also known as Coin Kicker) called and said him and Todd Lipe both of the Charlotte Silver Mafia were going down also. Tom asked if I could find us a place to all hunt together on Sunday. I found a place and was there at sunrise on Sunday morning. They wouldn't be at site for a couple hours so I started hunting. 30 minutes later I pulled this Tag out. I called CT/CK and sent him a picture. Come to find out they were an hour away and stopped for gas and hunting an old school. Well I think they made it to the site in record time. I stopped hunting after calling Tom hoping they would find something good. We all drove up to site about the sametime.I finally got to meet Todd. And he is a super guy to hunt with too. I dug a Large Cent and some clad. Tom got a signal and kicked it with his foot but didn't dig it. About 15 minutes later I walked by his kick mark.and got a signal. Up.pops another Large Cent. I tried to explain to Tom unlike up in Charlotte you can't kick the coins out of the ground. We didn't find much else except for a cannonball fragment.But it wasn't from lack of effort. The first pic is like it came out of ground and I'm slowly trying to clean it.



As a side note this piece of history would be lost by the end of summer as construction on some buildings are starting soon

Banner find brother. You heard it here first! Second, as Blaze beat me to it.

CONGRATS on one of the finest relics I have ever seen... and held in my little hand.

Thanks CT I'm glad that both you and Todd were there to share it with especially since we had talked a few nights before about finding one would be a detecting Bucketlist
Tom can we talk about that elusive CSA BUCKLE next time?

Next discussion... Spanish gold coins! Big ones! I can not thank you enough for hooking up Todd and I. I have included a pic of the little "T" shaped shrine that you built, so I would know where the tag was dug. Too funny...

Congrats on going up onto the Banner.

You cheated by starting early before the gang got there.
Nice find, I know George is jelly.

Oh George has no reason for jealousy he's sitting on a museum And you should know I don't play by the rules cause I think a blind squirrel needs a headstart on the CSM and Philly Relic Killer.

Thank to EVERYONE for the votes texts emails pm's and phone calls about what I consider a truly unique find.I'm glad I was able to save this piece and share it with all of you before it was under the upcoming buildings. Again Thanks to All and Coin Kicker Tom and Todd Lipe

Incredible find Tylerb! Shame on you for showing up your "visitors from the North" lol. Just kidding-I know you waited for them after you found the tag, and you gave Tom first kick at that large cent.

Congratulations!

I never knew Tom is actually the backup field goal Kicker for the Panthers. That boy has a foot on him.
