A Possum's Face, and a Rare US Navy Pepper Bottle..

I'm exhausted. Just spent a few days in SC digging in a "hunted out" Yankee camp, on the maiden voyage of my brand spanking new Nautilus IIBa....and it works just fine!
Dug about seven eagle buttons, coat Rhode Island button, a couple of dozen minis, three dozen percussion caps, two knapsack hooks, and a pile of melted lead.
I also found a cool mini with and a Possum's face carved from a mini. and my best find, a Rare US Navy Pepper bottle!
How many time have you been asked the question "does you metal detector find glass..?" In my case, it has and it does!
I will post up some better pics later, as soon as a raging case of poison ivy gives me a reprieve!

The Nautilus has been my detector of choice for nearly forty years.

Have I been lucky, or did I just use the right detector...watch and decide.MoultrieTavern1862's channel - YouTube
