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!

Man! Now that's something you don't find everyday! Hope the other half of it is out there. That would be something wouldn't it! Kinda looks like banner material to me. Anyways, my votes in! Congrats :notworthy:

Mirage83 I was laughing out loud when I saw your post. I would have set up camp and set a barbwire boundary. lol

FREAKIN SWEET find!!!
 

Nothing like an awesome reward for a day of digging, got to dig a lot of iron some days for one minor find, but you got a big one this day, way to stay with it! Congrats on the banner too!
 

great find
thanks for sharing
 

Thanks fellas. That wreath could be miles away or just in the next property. May never know.
 

Congratulation on a once in a lifetime find!!

Ditto on making the Banner.

I concur that the mule shoe should be displayed along with the CS tongue, they should be together!
