Civil War Beauties

[ekeisler]

Got out yesterday with Addam Coe. I tore it up! First find was the chopped round ball. Then not long after I got the gold plated cufflink. Kept hunting with little success and decided to take a break. Fast walking and random swings back to the car I got a nice sounding target. Popped the plug and scraped off the dirt and out popped my first half dime (1853). I was psyched! Took a break and went back out. First signal after the break was solid. I popped the plug and not 5 inches down got my first coat size eagle I. Went a little further and popped out the music box reed. About 15 minutes later popped out the little suspender buckle. Took another break and walked back out and got a mangled 3-ringer. Thanks for looking and HH!
