Be careful with this find.

[VA Digger]

Digger Vet, his son and myself went out to a location that we just got permission to hunt yesterday. You always read where people find things the first ten minutes and well it has never happen to me until yesterday. We were north of Ashland, VA and just crossed the creek to hunt. The first signal Digger Vet had turned into the only find for the day, but what a find. He happen to dig up an CS Read intact, man am I glad he wasn't using a pick. Unfortunately we only had a cell phone camera and the pictures really didn't turn out that good. Here is the best picture we have at this time. We will be taking it to get it disarmed tomorrow and will send more pictures when it is cleaned up a little.

Nice find, I just got permission at a civil war site that is way off the beaten path and not documented. Local historians know of it and I know the property owners. I hope to prove the historians to be correct.

Neat!! Look forward to the next pics. At the risk of asking a really dumb question...what is a CS Read?
