FIRST POST BACK SINCE VACATION.....AND A VERY LUCKYY FIND!!!

[{Sentinel}]

Whats up buds Its been a good 3-4 weeks since I have posted which is NOT like me But I have just

been enjoying vacation and spending alittle time with the family here at the end of summer before I GEAR IT UP BIG again starting in September

Since I have been back from Florida I have not been able to go detecting which has been hard since

I am use to going every other day Last weekend I wasn't able to go because my brother had his birthday

party I had to attend so that shot that weekend :P :P I have been at the long end of a whip running

here and there....SOO, YOU KNOW, that by this weekend I WAS FEINING and going into DETECTING

WITHDRAWALS

So we went out to a couple of new sites today. We were scouting out new areas and wound up

being skunked at the first 3 sites. When we got to the next site we were "eyeballing" the debris

and dirt without our detectors as the site had just been cleared off and getting ready for construction. There were pieces of old

glass from the 1800 and early 1900s and marbles lying around and then I walked up on an old milk glass medicine bottle....Old but in and

of itself not too great.....when I picked it up I just happened to glance inside and to my BIG SURPRISE I

thought I saw something awesome but I thought that it just had to be my eyes were blurry or I had

something in them so I wiped my eyes and looked again and pulled out this :


A beautiful GREENISH BLUE PATINA'd rusted together MASS of Percussion Caps! Now, THATS what I call a

LUCKY STRIKE.....I couldn't believe it.....even my buddy said "Man the chances of picking that lil medicine

bottle up and finding those in it have to be 10,000: 1 or more.....Needless to say I thought it was pretty cool

and I had to post this "pick up" find for everyone to see Hope y'all had and are enjoying the last few

weeks of summer but I am looking forward to the fall and Many more finds

you know I really gotta to stop throwing stuff I think is junk away! I find those things thought they were junk or some type of boat rivets or something. Dang it. Well I just went and looked and I did save a couple but I know I threw away lots more. Watch because I now know what they are I won't find them anymore.

That is one cool clump of them you found and in a bottle to boot, thats great.

Josh,

First let me start off by saying, in my mind and heart, you have always been a GREAT, ETHICAL hunter! Your research is always top-notch and your finds are always SUPER! Now, when I come on here and notice some " woman " comes on here and accuses you of such a thing...well, let me tell you, I was .

She must have such a NERVE and JEALOUSY within her soul that she needs to keep her high off of false claims. Bullcrap!

Buddy, keep your head high because we all know who the REAL DEAL is!!!

Thanks AeroMike and Civil! Yeah, you know I had to put alittle "Southern Twist" to my US Beltplate In addition you are right Civil, if she had ANY class she would have PM'd me...HOWEVER, with that being said, I am GLAD that she did it in the open as I have NOTHING and I mean NOTHING to hide!

I appreciate all yours and EVERYONE'S support on this thread and all my friends who came to my defense and who REALLY KNOW ME and know what I am about. I am humbled by your support and know for a fact, that I got some very TRUE friends on TNet.

BTW Josh are the caps coming apart from one another or are they bonded together through corrosion for the rest of eternity? Was there any loose ones to begin with? Are you going to try a method to make them stay in one clump or do you think they will just stay that way? Do you think I ask to many questions? If you were here you would get a super high five from me and the rest of the Brigade! One heck and unusual find that any relic hunter would be proud to have. I think it makes it a little better that you eyeballed it. Rock on you the man!

Hey KFB and Buck,

You know all you "Iron Brigade" boys (and girls ) are PISAN!! Naw, you don't ask too many questions, when it comes to this stuff...there can never be too many questions or to much talk....I could talk about this stuff all day long. As far as that percussion cap clump...ITS SOLID like a brick wall Its not going to come apart anytime soon! Now if I wanted to seperate them than I am sure that I could work it apart with some soapy water and some amount of time and effort BUT I think it looks very cool in the clump and will probably just preserve it as is Thanks for the post and good to hear from you
