Awesome Hunt with Tnet Friends Produces Spanish Silver, Civil War & Chinese Relics!

I had a great past 4 days in the Northwestern Virginia Mountains saving some history with some great guys! We stayed in an awesome cabin in the mountains right beside a creek, it was beautiful! Carolina Tom & I rode up Thursday to meet up with RelicNut & Damnails. We stopped to check out a homesite, I wandered in an adjoining field & discovered a strictly late 1700s site. I was very happy to pull the 1786 half reale, children's shoe buckle & early buttons! We hunted a few more sites over the weekend & found a great variety from colonial, Civil War & even a couple of Chinese artifacts. Damnails found a beautiful seated half dime. It was a much needed vacation & my time could not have been spent any better. Great people, scenery, relics & food! Thanks so much to Relic Nut & Damnails for a great time!

Great post Josh, makes me happy that you had a good trip and made some awesome finds. That reale is the bomb, and the buttons are sweet! I think I put on about 10 pounds this weekend.
I am impressed with your knowledge of the old relics and look forward to hunting with you again. Hope you had a good trip back and reminded Tom often of your and Damnails coins. Happy Easter Bud!!
 
Sounds and looks like you had a great time. Congrats on the good time and the awesome finds.

Very nice post Josh.

Congrats on the nice set of finds. That Spanish coin is really sweet. Thanks for NOT mentioning that both Relic Nut and I went over it and didn’t hit it, and I mean right over it. Ouch.

See you soon buddy.

Tom - did I tell you both of you went over it? Lmao.
 
Love the well displayed post...great keepers! :occasion14:
 
Amazing finds and an awesome presentation!
 
What an amazing group of items. Beautiful photos, too. That Chinese cash coin flipped my wig. We find them in California, where the Chinese settled. They are not "valuable" but a neat piece of history. Finding one in Virginia seems very unexpected.

Looks like you fellas had an outstanding time. Now, Tom has said so many things about you as a hunter and I see that they’re all completely incorrect. You can find stuff with your detector and score big! Looks like you had an excellent hunt and a time with friends that you’ll remember forever. Between those tombacs and rat tail, you were getting well into colonial. Those tombacs can easily be mid-century
