I was complaining on Friday that the "good old days" of detecting were gone. So I decided to hit a regular spot of mine that is always good for a couple of bullets. It's a large area and alot of it has been graded. You just find pockets of stuff here and there. Well, I decided to go back to a little knoll that had yielded some enfields and gardners in the past. I started finding them close together-like four enfields in a three foot area. So I slowly started working my way out... And then I got a very high buckle reading. I thought, another big piece of scrap.- The place is loaded with scap. Anyways, I dig and dig, get down about 12 inches and see an edge of green... Popped it out and about had a heart attack!!! CSA! Perfect condition with the remnants of belt still in the hooks! Never believed I would find one. It's been 25 years of hunting off and on. I've found plates and buttons, but nothing like this. It's just beautiful! I thank the Lord for helping find it. I can't seem to resize most of my pics enough, but here are a couple

CSA is Outstanding ! Banner Find any day of the week except .. Many T Net members have been on here for years & years with countless posts without getting one Banner vote so first post could be a tough shot to the top .. Welcome , CMD

I do not understand why it's so important for some people to get their finds nominated or make the banner but that is a banner find if I have ever seen one...d2

Congrats Toby, It's been a long time coming! Though your new here, I know how long we've been hunting for one of those....You got my banner vote!

As a new member far away from any civil war digs, I have to admit I am seeing most of these relics for the first time. I can't get enough of the belt plates, what a killer find.
