Yesterday morning I packed my gear in my trusty Ford 4 wheel drive and Headed East for a much needed morning hunt. 
It was a beautiful morning with a cool breeze puffing from the South hosted by the good scents of the local wild flowers.
I began my trek about 7am knowing the temperature was to gain over 80 degrees. Driving over the mountains the sunrise was a beautiful. A neon amber radiating on top of the trees looked to me the best color I can describe it looking like.
I arrived at my location shortly after 7:30 . I entered the 500 acre wooded property then engaged the 4 wheel drive and splashed through the numerous slushy mud pot holes towards my fields. I saw a flock of wild tom Turkeys doing their morning strut for the females a short distance away who seemed to be almost chuckling at the boys who were trying to impress them with the latest dance.
I drove further into the woods and arrived to the location I hadn't given a go yet, excited thinking what may be there. I know Cornwallis and his troops camped and fought nearby so, its just a matter of time before I find some evidence of their inhabiting the location.
A beautiful standing tobacco barn
I attached the new 16.5 excelerator coil perfect for covering large distance in a short time. I began the familiar swinging pattern and started walking towards the river that cuts through the land. I began seeing the tell tale sign of broken pottery shards strewn about. I began hitting the Iron signals and then a button. Having found something I switched the coil back out to the stock pro coil on the Minelab etrac.
The best find of the day was the large Dandy button with some beautiful gilt remaining.
I can't make out the year....185_?
