🥇 BANNER Steve Phillips CS plate

[ssdsupply]

Had a good time walking and diggin for three days and yesterday I found a great CS plate. I am trying to get in shape for my summer dredging for gold in Nome. I still need a few dredgers that want to go to my inland claims. 205-672-9310
This CS plate is my eleventh and the first in many years. I haven't looked on dry land much in a long time.

Lucky is good but don't count on it. Lots of research, read diaries, persistence and try to find a spot that you find on your own. Relics don't grow back. Save as much of our history as you can find.

Keith, thanks for posting the collection video. I want to finish telling the story of my Great Grandfather's Enfield rifle from Devils Den at Gettysburg . The gun was found by a family of relic hunters right after the battle on their farm. The family and their descendants kept the gun and many more relics just like we do. I was able to get the gun about fifteen years ago. It is all we have from John Columbus Deason. The relic hunters saved the history, they are the good guys and so are we.
