🥇 BANNER Tag You're It

[DirtStalker]

Had a Low Country dig with P@tch planned for Saturday but due to the Weather we decided we will go in few weeks. It only rained about 3inches instead of the 7-10 they called for so I asked this 30something year old kid if he wanted to go. He bought an AtPro a few months ago and had never been relic hunting so he jumped at the chance. I really wanted him to find somethings as I like to see people that have never found much to feel that feeling you get when you find something special. We headed out on our 3.5 hour drive and got to the site at 8am by 845 I had dug a few buttons a buckle and out pops this 1852 Servant Slave Tag. I send off a few pics to fellow relic hunters and sit back and watch Jason for a while. He's like a a kid at Christmas digging a thimble and buttons but he seemed more excited about digging a roundball than anything. I found my first Slave Tag in January and this one 8 months later and it does look like a baby compared to my first one. But the excitement is still huge.Still cleaning Tag as it's a slow process

You keep this up and the value of them will plummet

Don't want that to happen do we? I guess I should put 1 back

Congrats. Don't see many of these posted, my BANNER vote is in also.

Thanks Mike you're right these don't pop up everyday but glad this one did Saturday

Incredible! Congrats on two holy grail finds. Really a special accomplishment that only the most dedicated and determined make

Thanks man but even a Blind Squirrel finds a nut every now and then.

Crazy that our crew has dug 3 complete, and 2 partials this year...must be something in the water. Was a privilege to hold that history yesterday, banner vote in!

BANNER! Thats just insane man. That is another nice tag. Congrats.
Im jealous.... At the rate youre going those things will be as common as wheat pennies in a couple years.

Absolutely FANTASTIC man Slave tags and tree coins are "unicorn relics" for me... I'll never dig one here, but it doesn't get any better than this. I bet your friend was hooked after seeing that come out of the dirt. Now that the hurricane has muddied up DownNDirties Colonial pit, get over there and wallow around for some killer relics. Looking forward to what you guys turn up.

Congrats on your 2nd Slave Tag,,
A 3 1/2 hour ride was well worth it.

Thanks Jon. Jason thanks you big time also. He was amazed that you would mark a signal for him to dig.

Hey Bone where ya been? Remember I've tried to get you to come up and hunt. Common as pennies lol I sure don't think that will happen. I'm just hunting some crazy Watermelon Patches.

Brad I've seen your display cases I know you have 3 of EVERYTHING. You hardly have room for much more. Jason was probably more in awe of his roundball at the time. Yes I am supposed to be at Pig Pit helping Glenn right now but........

Congrats on your 2nd Slave Tag,,

Always worth the ride brother. Its the times where the drive home feels like 6 hours when you don't find Anything at all and believe me I've been there too. Thx

Congrats banner

Thanks Art. As you know finding never gets old neither does helping someone new get into it. I found a General Service CW button I'm cleaning up to give to Jason.

Lol. The wife is a little young for you old man. But i could probably hook you up with g-maw.
What do you think.?? She has a nice collection of OD nicks too, she started saving them during WW2 when they first started makin em.

Just think.. Yall could knit and soak your teeth together while watchin Hee Haw Re-runs..

Thanks Darby like your RV project me and DnD should be finished at Pig Pit by the time cool weather is here and we can jump into some fields and woods. I can't wait. Have been scouting some places to dig but waiting for the Zika Sqeeters to calm down.

A LITTLE slump? Tiger Woods is in a little slump, yours was much more serious. But the curse has been broken. Now get your butt down to the Swamp Pit and make up for some lost finds (I mean time).
