Last couple GPX and Etrac hunts with a Great Fob Find

[Woodland Detectors]

Since the new arrival of our new addition, I haven't had too much time to get out, but I managed a couple keepers when I have including a very solid and sexy Stephen-Putney Battle Axe Shoe company watch fob.
Reverse reads:
"Battle axe Shoe Company" , "Built on Honor" Stephen-Putney Shoe Co. Richmond Va. Here is one similar selling on ebay

Probably the nicest fob I have dug to date that I can recall. What is it with me digging shoe company memorabilia relics lately? Dug in North Carolina hunting with my buddy Ken Whitley, this fob is reflective of Civil war Confederate soldier Honor. Read more here: http://historynerds.blog.com/
I was detecting with the Minelab Etrac, accompanied by the mighty CoilTek 12x8 DD All Terrain Coil. (Platypus) The more I use this coil, the more impressed I am with depth and separation capabilities. The other relics were dug using the Minelab GPX 5000 series high mineral busting machine, at some pretty impressive depths.

Thanks for looking~
