Great story and great finds.

I would hunt the heck out of that field. Yes, People who don't understand or appreciate history have no idea how important that plate is. Did he let her keep it by the way. Daffodils are a great giveaway for a site.

Re: Adventures With Nana & DiggerBug CW Pic Heavy

Now, Nana, you and your friend are just getting ridiculous... really! We're all tired of being shown up by you! You should be ashamed! :tongue3:

That silver thingy y'all are calling a match safe is almost identical to one I have that my grandmother gave to her "Papa" back in 1912 or so. Family told me it was a snuff keeper. But mine is only filled with a note from my grandmother that says, "To Papa." Whatever it was supposed to be filled with, it never was.

Dang, Nana, you beat all! Congrats!!!! And to your partner!!! - Noodle

So, tell me. Is our non-hunter now hooked? That's beginner's luck for sure. Same thing happened to me two years ago. I introduced a newby to the fine art of detecting and he found a platinum ring right off! Great stuff Nana and that sure looks like a lot of digging! Monty

Re: Adventures With Nana & DiggerBug CW Pic Heavy

Thanks, Aquila, BB and Breezie! :hello:

Thanks, Jer. Absolutely she's keeping it! :thumbsup: And I think after finding out a little history on it, he's putting on a big smile over finding it....right, Lisa? :D

:D Thank you, Sweet Burdie.

:D Thanks, Civil.

Thanks you AU and JG! :)

:D Thanks, Noodle. Well...I've never looked it up for myself. :P I just assumed that's what it was. I did take a little time to look over some sites and I think that's actually what it is. Looks like the snuff boxes are a tad bigger than the match box....

Thanks, Mr. T. :)

Monty.....Nope. :P :D But I bet if Lisa asked him to go huntin' with her, he would. :wink:

Thanks, Fisher! :)

Thanks a bunch, Will! :)

Re: Adventures With Nana & DiggerBug CW Pic Heavy

Great finds Nana I just saw these finds. Go figure the new guy would get a CSA plate. Looks like you all did well. He did something I have never been able to do and that is hunt with a watch on. But then the brass rivets on my boots set off my machine :laughing7:
Nice job all around :thumbsup:

Re: Adventures With Nana & DiggerBug CW Pic Heavy

dream find for me ..congrats!


In a related question..what about 'daffies' makes it a probable home site...
Not a horticulture expert...did these have to be 'planted' at some point>?

I see lots with the flowers quite often

Re: Adventures With Nana & DiggerBug CW Pic Heavy

Wow, wow, WOW!

When you folks are finding, you are finding BIG!!!

First off, those button backs indicate that the whole jacket was tossed out there. The buttons look like 3-piece button backs, and I assume that the button that fits that is either the Staff button or the Mississippi one. So get back there and find the fronts of those buttons!

Second, I think you may have a brass spur rowel there in your photo (brass amoeba-like piece with a hole in the center).

This is all Top Notch Stuff! Congratulations!! Got a photo of the back of the CSA plate? :headbang:

Thanks, HB & TN! :)

CHill....Thanks! The daffodils are bulbs and not seeds, so they are not eaten by critters and strewn around. They can however be transplanted...say if the soil is moved around. :)

Thanks, BB!! Extra thank ya for all the info and ID!! 8) We'll get back out there soon and see what those button backs belong to. :wink: Here's a pic of the back of the buckle for ya.
