Hi All,
I thought I'd post this since it was my first and best civil war relic found. I found it while detecting in a recently plowed field just south of Goldsboro NC; I was put on to this site by a guy named J. Jones. He let me loose on the field with my XLT, about 5 hrs later he came back and asked what I'd found, if anything. I showed him two nice buttons and he started jumping around...guess they were good finds...I wouldn't know. The one he was most excited about was a Confederate Script I with a loose shank; he said it was a rare button. I was excited to have found it and it's still in my collection today! The second button had an eagle on it...he said it was also confederate. Both are in good condition but neither have any guild left on them. I also eyeballed a few clay pipes and found many musket minnies.
Being active duty military; I have the opportunity to be stationed at many different areas in the US and abroad which gives me the opportunity to detect the different areas within the hobby (relics, old coins, gold nuggets...). I'm currently stationed in Alaska and hope to get into some gold next spring.
Thanks for reading...
