Me & my fiancee's 1st 2009 finds that's LOOKING for US, plus 2 Spanish Reales!!!
So I had the privilege to spend a couple weeks with my sweet fiancee back home in Florida. We got in some detecting, both on land at a lost fort in North Florida, and again on North Beach down in Saint Petersburg.
The first find is of a small mini pistol ball shot that we found at a lost fort site in North Florida. The only find that wasn't a blasted square nail!!! lol
And the next two are of a civil war pistol (with the percussion caps still in the revolver!) that my fiancee's father found in North Florida, as well! I about fell off of my stool when he set it in front of me! After I said, "You've GOT to be freakin' kiddin' me!!?" he replied, "Aww, that ain't nothin'. I would've rather found a button or belt plate." After seeing all of his relics and archaeological artifacts, ANYONE with a love for history would be impressed!!
Now on to our beach finds... the first was my first ring find ever, and was literally staring back at me when I wiped the sand from it!
This next pic was of my sweetheart, slaving away at her hole (already existing hole)... only to be disappointed with a pull-tab.![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")
And for me, the FRUSTRATION of whomever dug craters in the beach and neglected to fill them back in!!!
And lastly, my Sweetheart's find of a lifetime... a couple of *cough* plastic *cough* SPANISH REALES!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's all for now! Tune in until next time....

Congrats on that Spanish booty too! 
and hacking trough tree roots that were as big as my arm, Bran finally went and retrieved his relic shovel, which he won at CTH 2 (thank you to whomever donated it!
