🥇 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

Confederate Plate (BANNER UPDATE)

Let me start off by saying THANK YOU soo much to Smokey for taking the time to complete this plate for me. What a great friend. As soon as I dug the CS plate we were hit with weather and frozen ground. I have not had a chance to go back yet. If you read the original post you will see the plate was damaged in four pieces, I found the first three in that post. Well, we had a slight warm up for a few days and the farmer moved some ground so Smokey didn't waste time. She said within 20 mins she had the fourth piece under the coil. I had no clue this all took place until a day ago we got together for lunch. WOW I was surprised. Ive been thinking about that missing piece nonstop, Is it there? Did someone else dig it? Is it under the pavement? Such a relief and once again thank you Smokey!!

The look on your face was beyond priceless! And we were standing outside after having deconstructed a five thousand quadzillion ton home made playhouse someone put on a piece of real estate I'm selling and we had been out there for four hours in the snowstorm!

I had originally thought it was under the asphalt driveway. I didn't think anyone else had found it, though. What specifically happened is the last time we were both at the site, I found the complete windings to an electric motor in another part of the field we had literally hammered. How did all of us miss that? But having no pouch I left it for later.

Anyway, I was just up there a couple weeks ago to visit friends, and told them about the motor in their field and they wanted to see it. So I was all dressed up at the time, not digging clothes or shoes and since I knew about where I had left it, and yes, I didn't have my pouch that day and having plopped it right back knowing it would be ready for me next time I came up, well we took the Deus and walked the 10' into the field to get the motor, and the Deus caught something even before we got that far, the piece of the buckle, and the end was sticking up out of the ground just a bit. It was about 135 feet from where the rest of the pieces were found. Who'd a thought? At that point we forgot to get the motor. Maybe in a couple weeks when the snow is gone. Again.

Smokey didn't waste time. She said within 20 mins she had the fourth piece under the coil
Well this is what I call a 'gender reveal"

By the way, congrats on adding to your buckle!
