MY F75 LTD STRIKES AGAIN DEEEEP!!!!!!!

Me and My digging buddy Alabear have been at it again in another worked over spot cleaning up the iron and lead so that the farmer's crops will grow better. This time We were hunting a beanfield in Bama and I happened across a large deep signal with My detector and decided to lay the shovel to it, and let Me tell you I had no idea that I was about to unearth My second greatest find of the Year. I started diggin on the signal and got down about 18 inches and saw at first what I thought was a rusty pipe. What would a pipe be doing so deep in a beanfield, well there is a freshwater spring nearby but this is on the side of a hill couldn't be a waterline. Well after about 30 minutes of carefully digging down I realized that I was in a Civil War firepit and had found a Civil War Tower Enfield Rifle. Wow!! I have been very lucky this year but I have to give My detector alot of the credit it is a mean machine. It is not often I get a chance to show the before and after shot's of a nice dug relic, fortunately We had a cellphone with us to at least get some pics of it being uncovered that evening, thanks to Alabear I can share those pics with You as You can tell He cut the ugly out of the pics for everyone, thanks Bear it will be Your time next buddy I know Your saving up for a good C.S.A. I just hope I beat You to it just kidding!! :laughing9: :laughing9: :laughing9:
