Hmmm, I live in West Virginia. I wonder where this site might be.

If I knew I'd sure tell you. Unfortunately I rode with a friend and really couldn't even tell you the name of the town Good luck, maybe you'll stumble upon it

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

Thanks again Josh, I had never dug either an 'R' or a 'D' until yesterday.. the host had dug a halfdime, 3 center, and 'R' coat button the day before

That's a great philosophy BB, you should patent it. WV was cold!! The ground was rock hard.. some of the digs took a good 5 to 10 minutes to recover with my inferior equipment

Keyhole saw with a cigarette lightere attachment and 300 yards of extension cord to run it from the car should work.
