December 2011 "Relic Rescue" Hunt Finds Glebe Farm, Culpeper Virginia

We had yet another fantastic Relic Rescue Civil War hunt on the Glebe farm in beautiful Culpeper Virginia. These hunts are incredibly fantastic and very well organized. Thank you David Willingham for another laid back and successful hunt. We started the hunt Friday morning with the infamous Minelab GPX units. The morning air was crisp, and on the chilly side, but quickly warmed up. It didn't take long to dig my first target, a NY Staff coat sized button followed by a nicely strong gilted Union Eagle button. The heart breaker of the day was the broken tongue and wreath buckle shown in the last pic. I gridded the area thoroughly sadly to no avail looking for the rest of what could have been a Confederate NC Buckle. (seeing I was seaching a North Carolina Confederate Camp) :laughing7: All in all, I am so very impressed with these hunts, and how laid back they are. An awesome lunch was served Sunday afternoon for the attendees. I can't wait to go back to the next relic Rescue hunts! If you want more info on these hunts, go to: www.justgodetecting.com and watch for sign ups to try your luck at bringing home some fine Civil War relics :notworthy:

nice bunch of finds Mike. good hunt!
 
Re: December 2011 "Relic Rescue" Hunt Finds Culpeper Virginia

Very nice Mike. Man I wish I could have made it because that was where I found my Confederate relics at the last hunt in October. Folks..... Mike is not kidding about these hunts. They are well worth the trip. The hunt organizer David will make sure to put you on a very nice site. These last two hunts were on some great property with a lot of Confederate relics being found. I am looking forward to the spring hunt. Once again Thanks Mike.

LOL I take that back Nick. If I had found only one button I would say I did well now. Just being with great friends and the very ground the troops camped on was a huge treat. Give me a shout
 
Re: December 2011 "Relic Rescue" Hunt Finds Glebe Farm, Culpeper Virginia

Another great hunt Minelab Master. :notworthy:
I love seeing the variety of CW relics that come from those hunts.
As far as an "NC" wreath buckle, someone on Tnet found one a few years back. I just can't remember who? :dontknow: :tongue3: :laughing9: Sorry you couldn't locate the rest of that buckle Dude. :(
Looking forward to the spring RR dig. :thumbsup:
