Lead,buckles and spencers!

[cwdigger]

Went out the other day for 8 hours with some freinds of mine, to a place right outside of kinston and we got into a hot spot. We dug 4-5 foot holes all day long, and got down below the normal detecting line, the 1st hole we dug we got into alot of iron buckles, napsack hook with leather still on it, brass stubs with leather still on it, and a few other small things. Next hole dug by one of my buddies was a fire pit and he got about 1 pound of melted lead. This went on all day digging random holes in random spots, another buddy of mine pulled a fired cleaner and a drop minnie ball from one. The last hole of the day was possibly the best one, we got 4 spencers, 2 intact and 2 broken.

While we were there someone else came and hunted and found a very nice bugle hat pin at around 14". This was one of the best days I have had in a long time. Glad we all got to get out and save these relics.

HH all

Let me see if I understand this right.

You dug down 4 to 5 feet, then you metal detected?

Very nice finds. After a day like that tho. Sounds like a ibprofin, warm bath and Icy hot night.

Wow, you have a good area down your way. No CW sites around here that I know of to hunt.

There are lots of sites on and around Raleigh, just have to do the research to find them.
