Beautiful Virginia plantation home visit with James Bibb

Woodland Detectors · Mar 12, 2011

I met up with J.B (James Bibb) in Virgina yesterday , at yet another beautiful plantation home. The weather was awesome, and the plantation was a site to see. With a full working crew still, they could be seen scurrying about throughout the day, doing their chores, much similar to what it must have been like in the 1700's . We dug several 1800's buttons and coins, James dug another Copper and a nice Barber quarter.
Thanks again James, I had a great time!

That is some beautiful southren American hill country. Thank you for sharing the whole experience with us.
I love to look at the scenery associated with the older finds. Great place to hunt, and some great finds.
You need to tell the owner of that place a special "thank you" from all of us......and assure him/her that we won't
be invading his home.

even if we would like to. Have a great 2011.
