After a hard 5 hour hunt we were very pleased with our finds. John's very first signal was a 1841 seated dime! A short time later I dug a 1908 Presidential campaign tag. Bryan ran against Taft in 1908. Bryan also ran in 1896 and 1900 I believe. John also dug a really nice complete sword hanger. I hit a spot that produed 3 buttons, one a Cavalry button. The batwing was my first, it was in great condition, they were attached to the end of the belt worn over the shoulder of the soldier. All in all a great beginning to the digging season. I hope everyone has good luck also. Tsgman

Those are nice Tsgman.

I was wondering were you went off to. I should have known it wasn't the right season for you.

Around here during the summer can be tough, the ground is hard and the tempt and humidity are high. We recently got some rain and the tempt has been down in the 80's. I have been busy also, vacation and building a deck around a 27 foot above ground pool. Also the kids are back in school. I will be hunting more after I finish this deck.

WOOOOOT!!!!!!!!! GO CARDS!!!! AND SEATED DIMES!!!! Lol :D

Where are you guys in SW missouri if you dont mind my asking? I live in springfield and have always wanted to hunt a civil war site! There was a skirmish just west of town I would like to look over but havent got the chance yet. My dad and his friend hunted it some Years back and found some bullets and an infantry button.

there was a battle at Drury College here in town but the butt wipes who run the school wont let anybody look it. >:( Just think of all those coins buttons bullets and just Stuff that is rotting into the ground or just sinking. Its a load.
