Excellent Finds and pictures SP!!! There is nothing like seeing those bullets in the bottom of a hole or picking up a handful of dirt, running it in front of your coil, and feeling something heavy in the soil that you just know is a piece of CW history. Superior quality pics. What camera do you use? HH, Quindy.

Thanks guys! I am sooooo fired up for relic hunting this year. I have done a ton of research and will soon have a Teknetics G2 on it's way. So, should be a good year. I love getting pics insitu and most of the time I do...unless it's a really outstanding find, then I get so excited and grab it out of the ground before I remember to get the pic. Quindy, to answer your question, I use a Olympus Stylus 770 SW...it shockproof and completely waterproof ( I am a whitewater kayaker also and believe me, it and I have spent alot of time underwater!).

Bill, those are professional grade pics. That looks like a great site and located exactly where a picket post would be found on high ground. I am currently finishing an article (with help from Dman) on how we locate CW sites. Your Dad looks like he's having fun. HH, Quindy.

I couldn't have said it any better. Fantastic photos & CW relics. Looks like a great place to detect.
Congrats & looking forward to you next haul.
