Monday's Hunt

Met up with a ModernMiner to detect on Monday. The first site was a farm dating to the 1820's. Pretty cool place. Spent half the day there, found some clad, a parasol umbrella piece and a flat button. The backmark reads "IMPERIAL * ORANGE * " research shows it's English made dating 1820-1830.

We then moved onto a Civil War campsite he has been detecting, but only found modern .22 shells, lead and plenty of 12GA shot gun brass.

It was still a great day to be out detecting and spending time with Doug. For those that know Doug, you know that the best part of the day is hanging out a shooting the breeze with him, and hey, if you find something that day, bonus!

We'll do it again soon

You mean Doug actually likes to talk :laughing7:

Glad you (Joe) and Doug was able to get out. Even if you don't find some goodies it's just plain old theropy :icon_sunny:

I have a Brother who lives down close to Doug (Sanford). I hope to get down there this year and maybe I can meet up with old Dougie too :tongue3:

You had "Jack Wagon" Snyder as your guide Joe?? He's a great guy, veteran digger, and a great asset to our sport. Watch for his articles in relic magazines in the next 6 months or so. I was lucky to get an early preview and they are very good. I even learned something myself-not really LOL. HH, Quindy.

Haven't heard the Sally story yet..... kinda scares me just thinking about what it could be, though.

Yes, when he's not lounging on the couch in his favorite dress or taking a long walk on the beach at sunset...... LOL

Jack Wagon.... I will have to remember that. He told me about his up coming stories and can't wait to read them. I have been to a couple of the spots he was writing about with him so I am sure it will bring back great memories!!!
