I had always wanted to find something buried during the civil war: a verifiable relic which could be pinpointed to a single conflict in time. I went out on many hunts and just found endless heaps of modern trash. I have begged people here to help and a few have stepped forward. This time around it was DC Matt and his friend, StogieJim. They invited me to one of their spots where they had pulled a dozen or so bullets, a dozen buttons and a few other relics. StogieJim spent a ton of his personal time helping me setup my Tesoro Tejon. Three trips to the field later, my oldest son and I finally did it. Today, I got a solid ring which sounded a bit like a screwcap. 7" or so down was my first three ringer. We also found what might be a pistol shell from the CW only 2 feet away, a 1957 wheatie and a very old thimble 200 yards away. The people on this list made it happen for me today.
My hat's off to DigginMan, Tin Nugget, DCMatt and StogieJim. Thanks guys! I was honestly starting to wonder if my boy and I were ever going to find a single CW item. Try keeping a 9 year old interested when you just keep pulling crushed Budweisers, asst. foil and pull tabs hunt after hunt after hunt.
