Wow. I'm still in lala land after finding this. I'm at Diggin In Virginia and it was a long, tiresome day of digging a ton of iron and a few bullets. Around 2 I headed to another field where I had previously found my US box plate. On my way through the first field I picked up a small mule shoe that someone dug and left beside the hole. This must have been my lucky horse shoe because about 2 hours after that I had a beautiful CS confederate tongue at about 6 inches down.

I knew it was a tongue when I pulled it out, but was floored to see CS staring back at me. It was a lot of hard work up to that point but it paid off big time. This just made my year. Thanks for looking and HH!

I just noticed you were hunting with an F75. Did you find the tongue in the benign soil in the woods? Its very difficult to use a non-PI machine in that harsh red dirt unless you've somehow figured how to set-up your machine. I'd be interested in hearing the details on how you made that find. Congrats again!

Bill, yes the F75 and it was in the field. Targets are a little wacky, but for the most part it isn't too bad. It was down about six inches with iron in the hole as well.
