Well where should I start..... The weekend started by getting some friends up to hunt with me and the crew from the Maryland area, and let me tell you we had a blast and thank those guys for coming down to hunt with us. We got Rob "RTDE3" from the sharkpit and his friend Floyd as well as Joe "Civilman" to come and see if they might could dig some lead. So the 1st day we hit up about 5 different fields and we all pulled some things out of each field, I think the 1st day we all ended up with around 3 or 4 3 ringers. Then I went back to there camper and we talked drank beer and laughed about metal detecting.

The 2ND day on the other hand I thought was by far the best, we started out in a small field that we had never hunted b4 and almost immediately Bobby got a couple of 3 ringers then he called Rob over and Rob dug several as well, and a very nice period Pocket Knife. Then we moved on to another field and the bullets just kept popping up here and there, Floyd and Joe got some weird little heart shaped buttons with what looks like a train on them and some other miss. relics. I think between the 5 of us we ended up with around 30 bullets or so, give or take a few. We all went back to the camper that night and again drank beer, Rob cooked for us, and we watched the race and just hung out.

I had a great weekend making new friends and detecting some CW relics. I really appreciate all these guys did, and the commitment that they made to drive 6 hours just to hunt with us, these 3 guys are great guys and have a feeling that we are gonna friends for a long long time.

I don't have any pics of their finds and only a few pics of all of us my camera died in the field so that limited me. I hope they are gonna post their stuff so yall can see theirs as well. I found the all the bullets in the picture on Friday and Saturday except for the the two on the right they were dug today.

HH hunting all
