LAST DIG of day produces Civil War Plate! !!!!

[Gregg3131]

After a long unproductive day at an old site. I was walking back to my car and turned my discrimination on my T2 to 70 as I was frustrated hearing all the iron and garbage after 9 hours of hunting. About 20 feet from my car I got a slamming 92 hit which was shocking as I have pounded this site and am sure I went over this area multiple times. About inches down found this beautiful model 1851 Union officer Sword belt plate. My second of the year. Quite a nice early Christmas gift!!!

Banner!!! How many inches down?

There are many similar stories on TN where a guy busts his hump hunting a site only to make a major find just feet from his vehicle.

The best bet in the future is to park and hunt within 20 feet or so from your truck or car...

It was down about 9 inches.
