Headed down south 330am Sunday morning.
Pulled into the hotel in SC at 130pm.
Monday morning went to hunt a plantation with a few tnet friends. CT,Tom and Todlip, And Jon VMIairpower.
All great guys.
The hunt was less then productive. But it was great scenery, with so much history. Just sitting by the water for a few moments were the slaves lived was beyond words!!
I left the hunt by 2pm to get on the road to head to Virginia.
Pulled into the hotel in Virginia at 8pm.
Met up with Bill D The next morning at 7am, then drove another hour to the site. And met up with Joey fresh.
First time meeting Joey and he was a great host and great guy.
We were chopping at the bit to go.
By the time I got my headphones on and ground balanced I look up and wow, Bill was gone!! Lol!!
I have to say, I was intimidated. There had to be 300 ac.
I followed Joey up the ridge. And got this deep iron signal and dug it out. This is what came out.
After that is was lots of lead shot shot gun stamps and some buttons in between. It was the easiest digging I ever did. Beautiful sandy soil. And the finds came out like the day they were dropped.
I found some great things!! The best of the day was this button. My first ever lead button. Joey said, looks like it was just taken out of the mold.
Also a few other pewter buttons. And flat buttons.
I found this pic on the net, looks just like the one I found.
This one came from England.
This was a really cool find, a buck and ball mold..
I like this one
And here is a buckle piece or something like it.
So we finished up around 4pm, and off I went back to Philadelphia. 5 hours later I was home.
It was a great trip with some really fantastic people to hunt with.
Thanks again Bill and Joey!!
Ps, One thing I have learned is they didn't have as much money to lose down south!! Lol
Lots of great old relics though!!
