Don't you just hate it.......
When you detect a spot for days and then a friend comes in and makes a good find right on the edge of your grid?
I hunted one of our sites twicee in the last week without finding anything more than a few round balls.
Today, I went back with one friend and we decided to concentrate our efforts in another area.
About an hour later our other detecting buddy showed up and started working where I had left off on my last hunt.
5 minutes later he hollers "CONFEDERATE ARTILLERY!". I thought "You have to be kidding me. I thought he was pulling my leg and had actually found a 12 ga. shotgun shell. We call them 12th Georgias.
Then he walks up and pulls a block A button out of his pocket and hands it to me. I could have spit nails! Another pass on that grid and it would have been my first marked Confederate military find.
I can take some consolation in the fact that it is missing the back but I would still love to have found it.
I did find a small flat button with a piece of thread still in the loop. It is below the penny. The IH penny is just for a size reference.
