Hello all...
Although this is my 2nd post here at T-Net, I've been viewing for awhile now, Today was the best day ever.
my bro-n-law, cousin and I were out mding and we hit a spot that we knew had the potential for cw relics...boy did it show its self. I got a good hit and dug a shot bullet and my bro had a hit and yelled to me to come see...I look up and hes doing the happy dance, so, I knew it was good, I ran over to him and hes hold what hes been hoping for on top of the ground was a cs buckle, so were duding each other and high 5's, and he hits the ground again with a good signal, I told him to let me dig...2" down out pops another!!!we start to body slam and go nuts...this is totally to good to be true...my cuz comes over to see what all the comotion is and were chatting and my bro starts to get more hits, so, we spread out and my cuz pulls a pulled enfield, I get a hit and I pull one too, then another, and a 3 ringer, i went back to my bro, and hes hitting another spot, i check the spot where he got the buckles and I pull a flattened piece of lead bent in half with pieces stuck inside that were flattened and bend the same...looked to be what they used to hold the flint in place when they didn't have leather. Id help would be great on this piece.
So to total up what we pulled...3 pulled, 2 shot, 1 cleaner, 2 dropped, 2 cs buckles, part of a spoon...pretty good afternoon I must say :laughing7:

BANNER! Congrats on two Reb buckles in the same day! One is incredible, two is unbelievable. WTG! :icon_thumright: :icon_thumleft:

amazing. a pretty good afternoon indeed!
 
The sharps bullet is a sharps ringtail (relatively rare confederate bullet)..Excellent find!!...The wreaths have got to be there in the area. Keep hunting that spot in ever-widening concentric circles. At least one of the wreaths will turn up.
Good luck and keep us updated.
If you need help finding them , I am available ....lol
 
2 CS buckles and 3 pulled bullets in the same spot is amazing. I also must congratulate you all on how you cleaned them up good in the field for the pic, no dirt anywhere around them for the tailgate pic,easy relics to id :icon_thumleft:.

Awesome Relics,
Nova Treasure

Mike said they are priceless and will forever keep them with him. He and I are still talking about them. The wreaths, we believe may be in some heavy cover that is hard to get into! Time will tell.... :thumbsup:

Two CS tongues in one day AWESOME

Most folks don't even find one CS buckle.
Congrats.

I thought you found them??? Maybe your brother will split the booty with you. Great finds for sure.
 
Is Mike a Tnet member? If not, that might explain the lack of a Finds Banner appearance... :-\

I would hope there's a good reason. Being worthy is not even up to debate.

Agreed.
 
Congratulations on some amazing finds!
