My friend and I met up at dawn this morning and decidedto hit the woods around my road. I had been out there a few times and didn’tfind much, so I wasn’t too excited about it but we have been running out ofareas to go. I got permission from the owner who lives down the street and offwe went. We covered a lot of territory and about 5 hours later all I had toshow for it was a pouch full of old shot gun shells and one Indian Head Penny,1895 (cool).
I was ready to give up when I dug up an old horse shoe so I hookedit to my belt hoping for a little luck. A few minutes later, I get a really goodhit, sounded like another beer can. I dug about 12 inches down looking for thisthing, when I see the round end of a box plate. I felt like those guys onAmerican Pickers, I threw off my head phones and walked in circles for a fewminutes before I pulled it out of the ground. I couldn’t see my friend so Icall him and let him know. About 10 feet away, I dig an Eagle Breast plate. Iwas on cloud 9. I called my partner again and told him he needed to get overhere if he wanted to find something good. On his way over to me, he digs a USbox plate. At this point a thunder storm starts rolling in so we had to takeoff, can’t wait to get back and see what else is there. Thanks for looking andHH.
Cleaned up nice!
This one has some good detail in it.
I was really hoping this was civil war, but it looks like a dandy button? Found it near the plates.
Found this C button, anyone know anything about it?
This is the plate my friend found.
This bullet has been carved on.
All three plates for the day, such a good site. Probably not happen again........
Total for the day, not to bad for such a slow start. This day was awesome!!!!!!

It was insanely EPIC! Absolutely incredible hunt Jacobsdt. Cant wait for your return trip to see what else turns up. Awesome job man.
. How could we have found these three plates, a silver spoon, harmonica reeds, and a few bullets. Maybe it was just a quick stop over? Still a great time, love being out there in the woods. Thanks again all, and HH.
