Had to get out today and do some digging. I stop off at a spot that has been very good to me in the past. looked over at a small spot that I have over looked so that was where I started. Two holes in was the plate. Greg this one was for you my friend! Was thinking of you at the time. Sorry guys for the bad shot of me think God I had the hat on lol, but had to take it for all to see. If you look in back of me you can see my truck. This was 30yd of the road. Got some camp lead just some small bits. Had a good day. thanks for looking.......HH

Congrats! great find/save. I found one in the summer of 2001.It is my best CW find to date.I had it for a year,when I showed it to a friend.My friend said"you know it has initals on the back right?" I never noticed them,but in tiny letters was carved"TW" I tried looking through the national archives website,but the amount of soldiers with those initals was very large.congrats again,when you clean yours check the back for initals.

Quindy, this was a good find for me. I have worked this spot for 10yr. But just over looked a small spot in the corner of the field it was just off the road the cars going by me I could fell the wind from them, some of them was on the horn. They must have seen me was hard at work........ HH
