I'm back guys! It's been almost a month since I've even turned my F75 on and today it didn't skip a beat! My lovely wife and father in law helped gain me permission from some friends that own a 300 plus acre farm that sets on the Virginia and West Virginia state line. I didn't do any research on the site so I didn't really know if I would find anything. I got there and walked through the gate and 3 targets in and about 5 minutes in I dug a first for me, an 1867 shield nickel. I was stoked then! Only a couple minutes after that I found my first CW bullet and it was a fired 3 ringer. It wasn't long after that I started to find bullet after bullet. All confederate lead I believe which doesn't hurt! Confederate buttons eluded me, but I did find a button back. So I'm holding out hope. Found a really piece of carved lead that kinda looks like a tusk. Also found my first scabbard tip, another first was a pulled bullet(not a big deal for some, but it was my first pulled bullet I've found!) some sorta chain thingy...not sure what it's from. I found a nice J hook, but I couldn't find it in my pouch! Also gotta little iron buckle, a nice brass oval bridal guide as well. Not sure what the large piece is that I'm holding. It was the very first target I dug. Thought it was a spur at first when I was pulling it out, but definitely not a spur...any ideas? I will definitely be making a return to this site I've only just scratched the surface and it felt SOOOO good to get out there and detect! Pictures below, thanks for looking and HH!
