where in southport did you find this. I just started detecting i was wondering if there was any good places to detect in southport. Ive really only detected the wilmington/leland area but I am very familiar with southport so I know about were everything is. I know that when they put the playground and tennis court in behind Fort Jonhston there was a lot found there. Any info about that area, as far as metal detecting sites would be very appriciated. If you dont like to tell about your sites thats cool and I understand. If you want you can send me a personal message.
Thanks, Kyle
