Dug my first box plate yesterday

[CoilyGirl]

I think the key for me is going slow,especially in places I have hunted before. I dug this in a yard we have been to numerous times and decided to go all metal and when I got a signal, even if blippy to then switch to setting 3 on my Minelab 505 to then get a clearer reading. I also dug within a few feet my first full harmonica reed and a little plated button.

Thanks Darby and even though brass is not magnetic, I'm a plate magnet apparently. I wish you would find one, it's very exciting to unearth one but I was just as excited about the reed and the little button. My husband found smithing that he thinks could be a rosette so he is busy researching that.

Great job! I have been fortunate to dig two buckles. One US and one CS but I have yet to get a box plate. Looks like you had a great day. Congrats!

Another nice plate for the collection. Doesn't have anything on those Confederate plates, but not a whole lot out there does WtG Coily.

Man, nice going! Plates of any kind are few and far between these days IMO. Won't be all that long before ANY plate is a banner find. In my neck of the woods, they pretty much are right NOW. Nice to be you . . . !
