🥇 BANNER IT HAPPENED! 2018 Out with a Bang CS Tongue&Wreath

[dfallis1]

It has been months since my last post. This year I was extremely busy and I decided not to mess with the bees, ticks, snakes and tigers haha during the hot months. Waited till harvest then got to work. I will soon do a wrap up of some of the relics and coins found this year but I figured this deserved a thread of its own. Just as last year, im still hunting the same 2 farm permissions. One colonial and the other visited a couple days ago civil war. Every time the farmer plows with his deep 18'' its like a semi- new site. Soo My friend and I went up to the farm checking the field conditions and noticed a area that had been widened by the plow. Last year this would have been a tall grassy area on the side lines. We both worked the area starting on separate ends and we started getting signals. First came 3 or 4 mini balls and my buddy digs a CS button. Im now working a low spot about 10ft off the edge and get a scratchy but dig me signal, out pops a 1852 3cent trime. I then grid this area maybe 20'x20' into the sideline area and my earphones about exploded. I dug the first of three pieces to my First Confederate Tongue and Wreath Belt Plate!!! I say first of three because the darn thing was scattered in three pieces in this sideline grass area. First came the wreath, im cartwheeling. Then the keeper, starting to shake. Few minutes later out pops the CS, I was done my heart couldn't take anymore. LOL In between the plate finds also had a 1853 seated half dime reveal itself. Had a wonderful time as always with great people this year. Cant wait to see what 2019 has to bring. As always GL&HH

D, yer a Killin' me. Great find on the CS Confetrit' wreath buckle. I know your ticker had to skip a beat or two when you realized what you had just brought up, because mine nearly did just looking at the pic's. Very Well Done and Congrat's to you on a Super Find indeed. Great piece of Saved Confetrit' History there. Nice recovery of the coins also. But I love the wreath. Mayun. WTG.

Thanks devldog. I was frozen, dumbfounded at first until it clicked. Keep telling yourself the other piece has to be here, then BAM. It had my heart going. Never forget that day.

Darryl was kneeling on the ground with the wreath still on the shovel, still dirt covered, he hadn't touched it and these unidentifiable little grunts were coming out of him! It was hysterical! If I remember right (these days it's tough), I picked it up off the shovel and guessed correctly (for once) a Confederate Wreath. Darryl then proceed to detect in a circle! I said no, go in a line, then turn around and go the other way. 2nd pass found the next piece. Took us about maybe 20 minutes to find all three pieces. It was exciting!

I know it had to be. That would be one day I would certainly remember for the rest of my days for sure. This would be a story for the Relic Hunter Magazine!

Now in all fairness I had my Deus headphones on, so I might not have heard right.

Took some time for the brain to process what just occurred. Haha. Grunts is me gasping for air when the heart started to flutter
