GREAT day of Digging in Virginia! J-team and SC guest!

[umrgolf]

Hello Again from Virginia! What an awesome, fun, exciting day for Josh, Alan and myself! Alan, a great friend of mine from South Carolina was traveling from MA back home to SC today. He called me and asked to stop and hunt with us, so of course the answer was "heck ya!", and so we took him to a couple of our newer spots. He ended up with a few CW relics and some silver! Josh also had some nice CW relics and an 1850 seated halfdime. I ended up with some CW relics of my own and an 1853 seated dime. The weather finally cooled down to make the hunting enjoyable Here are the pics! HH Jeff

Some great stuff there. Bravo to you guys!

I don't say this often, but that's a really great looking General Service Eagle button. Nice that you got a knapsack J hook too. I really like digging those.

And of course, a hunt where everyone manages to strike Seated Silver is a great time! Well done.


Cheers,


Buck

I'm with BB on that service eagle button. Really nice patina. Great hunt! I'm also in Virginia, and you're right, the weather was perfect. Ground a little dry but I wasn't complaining.

Haha, that's awesome!! Alan's a great guy! I met him 2 years ago while detecting the park in his home town in SC. I was attending Nuclear power school a few minutes down the road and just wanted to give my new detector a shot one day. Low and behold Alan pulls up in his big red truck! The rest is history
