A "R" "I" and a "D" on the same day. Sweet. Wish I only had to drive 5 hours. Out here in Arizona, they are a little harder to come by. I get a few but they are far far in between. WTO guys.

Thanks Vayank, the ground was frozen today and was tough diggin but worth it

I tried a spot yesterday and the ground was frozen. I didn't stay long. I went back and dug that pit out today. I didn't finish and am going to have to do it tomorrow. I might be sorry though. They said with the wind chill it will be 5 to 10 degrees. I'll post what all I got tomorrow. So far nothing great but a couple interesting things.
It's about time to start pulling out the digging hatchets

I like the Riflemen Button alot. Those and the Dragoons button are tougher to find as the pre-date the Civil War Great finds and Again congrats bud
