Very Nice Unexpected Christmas Gift

[ashdigger]

Big Christmas suprise

After years of looking for a great civil war camp in my area I finally found where several troops had crossed at a Ford on the river. Looking in and around the Ford I found several shot rounds and several round balls, one with the sprue still attached. but the story gets better. The day we go to hunt my buddy finds a new 1835 map of the location and it seems that this road had intersected with a second main road at the north end of the field, and it appears that an old Tavern had set very near the crossroads. We are still working this area since we just got started but I wanted to show what I found near the original road at nearly eight inches. Keep in mine that this is in southwest Missouri. A very nice 1787 Carolus -3 Pillar 2-Reale. Trust me this was not what I expected to find in the center of a 50-acre field looking for the relics of a camp site but this was a very nice suprise. We will be working on this area a lot more and I will keep you updated hopefully with more. What a Christmas gift!!

Hope all had a good Christmas... You wont know if you don't go...

I've found a few Reales in the last few weeks, but they were all on ebay & were't free for the detecting, dang it! That is a real beauty & as fine of a Christmas present as you could wish for. Gongrats!
