I was complaining on Friday that the "good old days" of detecting were gone. So I decided to hit a regular spot of mine that is always good for a couple of bullets. It's a large area and alot of it has been graded. You just find pockets of stuff here and there. Well, I decided to go back to a little knoll that had yielded some enfields and gardners in the past. I started finding them close together-like four enfields in a three foot area. So I slowly started working my way out... And then I got a very high buckle reading. I thought, another big piece of scrap.- The place is loaded with scap. Anyways, I dig and dig, get down about 12 inches and see an edge of green... Popped it out and about had a heart attack!!! CSA! Perfect condition with the remnants of belt still in the hooks! Never believed I would find one. It's been 25 years of hunting off and on. I've found plates and buttons, but nothing like this. It's just beautiful! I thank the Lord for helping find it. I can't seem to resize most of my pics enough, but here are a couple

Free Program; IrfanView. Download, drag and drop your photo, then Image; Resize/Resample and pick size,
I usually use 800x600 pixel, then save as in what ever folder and done. Great free program, for all type of stuff;
resize, crop, do panorama view. Only takes few seconds after you get use to the program.

BEAUTIFUL find TK! Can't wait till I find one. I image it's quite a feeling sitting there by the hole you found it in. In all your excitement and at the same time processing how and when it fell there. I hope it was a peaceful place and moment that you keep a long time.
