Well I got me a new Fisher Gold Bug Pro DP last week and found this Friday, my first sword belt plate. Found at the Battle of Seven Pines, on a friends property, that I have hunted for years with other machines. Also I found a whatizit that was besides this, I posted it in the what is it forum.

Wouldn't that be amazing if you got to hunt there and found his Id badge?
