First of all I am primarily a coin hunter... That is what I enjoy most... On occasion I do get to relic hunt... even though I know what I will find, I still hope for coin finds. because I know that's where I can find the older coins... well older than I normally find... like the 1868 shielded nickle I found years ago at an old camp site.

Now am in Texas and the stuff we found out here are nothing compared to you Civil War states but, on occasion we do come across some pretty good finds.

No coins for me today but I did find something interesting (last picture)... when I flipped it over, I knew exactly what I found... I think looked at it for a 1/4 of a second and this big ole WHOA came out of my mouth!!! then I ran up the hill to show the others. I never thought one of theses could be found here in Texas esspecially by me but it was, and I did.

I do believe its my best relic find EVER! Maybe my best find period!

What do you all think?

Chukers, like it or not your now classified as a relic hunter also.

I go out to places like that once or twice a year... don't get me wrong I do enjoy it but I just don't go often enough for that prestigious title! lol


And thank you everyone for the welcome and comments!
