🥇 BANNER CS tongue found today!!!!!!!

[matt092079]

Wow. I'm still in lala land after finding this. I'm at Diggin In Virginia and it was a long, tiresome day of digging a ton of iron and a few bullets. Around 2 I headed to another field where I had previously found my US box plate. On my way through the first field I picked up a small mule shoe that someone dug and left beside the hole. This must have been my lucky horse shoe because about 2 hours after that I had a beautiful CS confederate tongue at about 6 inches down.

I knew it was a tongue when I pulled it out, but was floored to see CS staring back at me. It was a lot of hard work up to that point but it paid off big time. This just made my year. Thanks for looking and HH!

Thank you and besides the antartic temps during the hunt the ground was soft.

Congratulations on finding the CS Tongue Matt!
Hopefully, the 'Wreath' is still in the field, that's if it hasn't already been found!

The horse shoe is right in there with that CS tongue. Don't believe in superstitions, but heck if I don't now!

That certainly made a great avatar. I don't think I have to ask you what your favorite find is. Congrats on banner. I consider myself too new to vote on such an honor, but I most certainly believe you deserve it!
