Latest Colonial Bonanza..Coppers and Reale's

I met up with my buddy Ken Whitley this week to search what are now thinking was an old stage coach stop in Virginia. Included are our combined finds.

Nice finds Mike!!! That's a good site. Tennessee Digger found the large version of that saddle ornament type at a virgin Morgan CSA Cav. camp featured in my article "Chasing Gen. John Hunt Morgan" in the August 2010 issue of American Digger. It's the second best find of anything Donnie, Julia, and Roger dug there in my opinion. The best find was a U.S. box plate with a rebel flag scratched in the lead on the back.

Looking forward to hearing you tonight on American Digger Magazine's "Relic Roundup" on http://relicroundup.blogspot.com/ from 9-10 pm Eastern. Don't wear therm out before I'm on in 2 weeks-LOL. HH, Quindy.

That looks like Dino on the Flintstones!

Thanks everyone, but the Shield was Ken Whitley's find. He's giving me a run for my money with his new Etrac
