A day I will not forget! It was cold, windy, but the ground was soft and easy to dig. We started out in a spot that looked great and my buddy John had dug some keepers there. We started out digging a few bullets and buttons but switched to another field. I hunted awhile and decided the grass was to high for me so I was headed back to where we started. I angled my way along a fence that bordered some woods when I got a nice signal and dug a 3 ring drop.
I started to work this area and got into a lot of iron signals. I dug a horse shoe and next was a suspender buckle. I got Johns attention and he headed that way and not long after he arrived I dug a hammered Eagle coat button. This was a good sign and I felt like we may be in a area that no one had hunted. I was only a few feet from the fence and decided to hunt on that side where a large very old tree was. I immediately got a nice signal and dug a pocket knife. It had a unique design with a soldier on the side of it!
I was sure we were in a little camp at that point and my next signal was very solid. I dug down and removed the sod and felt a round object. I wiggled it out gently from under a tree root, probably the huge old tree by me. When I got it out I could see the Eagle and wow ! I was really pumped at that point! I yelled at John screaming I have a Breast Plate! He was over in a flash to check it out. At that point I was pretty much done and wanted John to finish hunting that spot. I headed to the truck and drove back to get him when I saw him raise him arm and motion me to hurry up. John dug a nice Saddle Shield! We ended that hunt on a positive not, besides we were freezing! I hope everyone has a great weekend, I sure did!
