I dug the CS half of this rare “Coin Type” tongue at a Confederate camp along the Duck River line near Shelbyville TN. My relic hunting partner dug the bar portion of the tongue. He called me over after finding the bar with a Minelab E-trac. The CS disk was nudged up against a fist sized piece of iron five feet away, but my Equinox 600 sniffed it out. I traded an Indiana Veterans pin I dug last year for the bar. This is my first CS buckle in 23 years of detecting.

After my relic hunting partner dug a CS marked officers spur near Shelbyville last year, I said don’t worry I will dig a CS eventually, and our finds will even out. Today was finally the day after 23 years.
