Way to go! You are on a banner roll! Keep it up and take over that banner. I have to ask what that small ornate item is? Do you know? I do like the suspender clip, maybe it came from the same soldier?

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: NC Civil War belt buckle - My first buckle & maybe my best EVER find!!!!

MM, at your request I talked to a Professional Relic Dealer today about your find. He thinks that the NC tongue would be in the $4,000 neighborhood and could go higher. . I made a good guess last night huh? That's a good neighborhood to be in. He says it is rare to dig the tongue part. RARE FIND indeed. WTG and congrats on your 2nd Banner this year!!!

Doug,

Now you really did knock yourself off the Banner!! ;D ;D ;D

Doug, I hope you have figured it out by now....no need to keep whining about not finding any silver.....silver is not what you should be looking for in your area....your a CW master hunter now....CW relics is what you should be detecting for.....And it looks like you found another AMAZING piece!! :wav:

Congrats, Doug! Your finds are becoming more amazing/rare with each swing of your coil!

Isn't it a GREAT hobby?

HH,

PS - Please get that relic professionally authenticated. I've been searching online, and there are many, many fakes/reproductions of CW buckles.

Congrats on the major find Doug!!! I guess I have to call and threaten to come up there and detector more often!

Just mentioning me bringing the mighty Minelab (and the DFX) makes the awesome finds jump out of the ground! ::)
