4th of July relic hunt

[sekypaleo]

Hit the site I have been hunting for the past 6 months this past holiday weekend. Could only hunt for a few hours early each morning as the heat was unbearable once it got to be about 10AM. The finds are getting scarce now...mostly just deep minies. Used the T2 SE and all the minies were 7-9" deep. Also visited an old wooded Union camp site that I have hunted for 10 years...found nothing but a bad case of poison ivy...not even Tecnu could stop it. Thanks for looking all.

I was wondering how you did Bill. That's still a good hunt especially for this time of year. What's your appraisal of the new detector vs. the old one? HH, Quindy.

Nice hunt my friend! That's a solid day of digging in anyone's book. The piece to the right of your Minies, I cannot tell for sure because of the angle, but it looks like an Enfield scabbard tip...or possibly a Springfield scabbard tip that's lost the finial...cannot tell if the other end's solid or not.
