Found CSA Buckle Today

[Dman]

Vol1266X and I got out this morning and went to one of our favorite hunting sites. We spent about 2 hours there and dug 9 pieces of canister shot. We left the site and drove back to his home town. When we arrived, we ate lunch at a new restaurant in town. While we were eating lunch, I saw a friend of mine that owns several rent houses. I walked over and talked to him and got permission to detect around his rental properties. After lunch I went back to work for about an hour and left to go home. I thought I would give a couple of houses a quick search and I am glad that I did. I found a few odds and ends such as an old button, a brass lock, and a couple of harmonica reeds. About 30 feet from the side of the house, I got a good signal registering silver on my MineLab and dug an eight inch plug. I checked the hole and still got a signal. I dug about 4 more inches out and the signal was still in the hole but it was registering just to the left of silver, so I was hoping for a large cent. So I dug about 4 more inches out of the hole and checked again. I got a strong signal from the dirt I had just pulled out of the hole. I brushed through the dirt and saw an "S" looking up at me. I thought I had just found a US buckle. I picked it up and turned it over and saw 3 hooks and realized it was rectangular and not oval. My hands started shaking and I turned it over, brushed a little more dirt off, and saw the "CSA." That was when I had to find a place to sit down. This is the first CSA buckle I have ever found. Thanks for looking.

WOW, Dman, you are truly the Man.!!! LOL Fantastic find. I think my partner and I are coming to Tenn. LOL

Gary and I are at Diggin in Virginia, Gary has done pretty well, he found two nice Eagle buttons and two 3 ringers.
I have only found one fired 2 ringer, a end of a Springfiled ram rod, a couple of grommets and a really neat
Iron skillet. It's handle is bent so the soldier could hang it on a rod over a fire to cook on. I posted it on the Spot.

Tell Quindy Hi, and again, Congrats on that fine Plate. It don't get any better than that for a Confederate. LOL'
