Primary Interest:
Relic Hunting
I went out digging on January 1, 2015 and made my best find ever, a Virginia Tongue in perfect condition! What a way to start the new year! I don't know if I will ever top this one, my hands were shaking sitting there holding it. You just never know what is coming out of the ground next, I sure wasn't expecting to ever find a Virginia Tongue but it happened. A memory that will last a lifetime. Thanks for looking and happy hunting.

Congrats on the Banner! :weee:
 

WOW! Congrats man! That is BEAUTIFUL! Love to find something like THAT!
 

Congratz on the "Dream" find.
Don't know the context of your find but I hope (Maybe) the Wreath can be found to.
Don't get me wrong the Tongue is good enough.

Superb find!! I'm sure you will be just as excited all over again when you go back and pull the wreath device that goes to it out of the ground. Congratulations! :occasion14:
