Recent NC and Virginia Minelab GPX digs

[Woodland Detectors]

I headed up to Virginia Thursday to meet my friends, Civil War Tin Type Photographers Bob Szabo, (http://www.robertszabo.com) and,
Todd Harrington ( http://www.collodianartistry.com/) for a day of digging in Culpeper Virginia. The early morning started out a little brisk with temps in the 30's. We fired up the trusty Minelab GPX machines, and logged in our Culpeper Va. settings for the highly mineralized soil that is infamous to the area. It wasn't very long when Todd got his first bullet suggesting there was still some relics to be found from the hard hit area we were hunting. We then plucked away throughout the day digging numerous broken buttons and a few intact Eagle buttons spared from the plow. As usual we had a very good time hunting together. The second photo are local NC finds a few days prior including an always welcome 1874 Seated dime. I thought the Indian attachment was pretty cool. I have no Idea what it was from.

Thanks for looking

GREAT group of finds there! Glad to see you guys are tearing up the soil. I am glad to see that those zinc bases on the cleaner bullets survive well in that soil. Those are always a neat find.

Say hello to Robert on my behalf, and have a happy and safe New Year holiday.

Best Wishes,

Buckles

The first place was a bust. Totally overgrown and trashy. We ended up at one of my 1800's houses. I got my first silver with the Vaquero today. It was deep, but not compared to your GPX. It was a 1926 SLQ.

Looks like you had an outstanding day of digging, Mike.

But I would expect no less when you are swinging that GPX.

Excellent finds, I'm sure you checked, but could the Seated be a "CC"?
That would make anyone's year!
