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! (The native trout was awesome).

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

Lol I’m sure he has. I have found tombacs in Rev War sites but didn’t think they dated much older than that, good to know. It was definitely a great time

I enjoyed this thread very much, thanks for posting. Second thread posted on this trip, I believe. You guys back east make me feel like a child looking for mid century silver and such.

Awesome scores Josh, what machine were you using during the trip? I still enjoy your posts and the pics you do, I wish I had your skills. Funny how 3 machines go over a sweet silver target and yet only one gives a good enough beep for someone to dig. I bet you enjoyed being "OFF the GRID" man you know you're in the sticks when you need to find a certain intersection in the middle of BFE to get a bar or 2 on your phone, or have to drive miles to a small old fashioned general store to get connectivity.

I bet the best treasure discovered during the trip was the new friendships and comradery had by all.

Thanks, I appreciate it! I was using the T2 classic, basically all I use. I did really enjoy being off the grid, it suits me. I grew up in the country but live in the big city. It's always great to make new friends especially ones that like to detect!
