Well...I am late posting this, but here are my finds from the last hunt me and Mastereagle got to do in 2007. To read Mastereagle take on things click here:

I had a pretty good hunt despite the cold and hunting with Mastereagle.
It was cold...about 30 degrees and we got a nice hunt in despite the cold. We hunted the place where I had found a civil war bullet and managed a few things.
One of the most interesting things I found was a nickel signal that was eminating from a really large tree root. I had spent 1/2 hour digging around these 3 monsterous roots and finally had Mastereagle come over and verify that the signal I had was indeed inside this root. He started biting and slobbering all over the root and I told him...."Down boy!! Use your pinpointer!" :P He got the message and finally confirmed the signal was indeed inside the limb. I felt kinda bad because he got his white lace bonnet all dirty.
I returned with him to his car and he produced one of every tool made from about 1950 on.........finally locating the tree limb saw, we went back and took the 3" to 4" root with us! Boy, it was hard to get inside the limb, but what do you think I found? Of course.....a ring tab off a soda can!!! Too funny.....but very cool though that it was inside a limb!!
I did however manage two nice finds. I found a 1953/1954 (overstamped) dog tax tag and a 1948 Canadian Penny! I was happy. By the way, Mastereagle found a round ball shot that I feel pretty strongly was a civil war era projectile. We had a nice night.
Anyone know what that copper pierced disk is? Mastereagle thought the end of a bobbin....but that is only because he sews his own dresses. I can tell you it was found next to a place where soldiers hung out all the time during the Civil War. Also...what is the little orange wheel? I assumed it was off a toy train. Any ideas?
If you look, you can see one end of the tab emerging in this picture and where part of the ring was cut across from it.
The other half of this piece of wood.....
Nice coin!

Civil War Rosette!! Man! Talk about being worth the tree roots! Maybe I should call my tree root find an "Anheuser Busch Rosette". I think that sounds better.
