My First Confederate Buckle!!!!!!!!!WOOOOHOOO!

crashbro17x · Apr 9, 2009

I'm going to start by telling the story from today:

I took off work today and my father and I decided last night that we had to try this new spot. So we drive up to check it out. It was a small yard, in a subdivision. I would say that the house was built in the early 50's....and it was suppose to be smack in the middle of a civil war camp. Well, we covered the yard pretty quickly due to its size. The only thing I found to any significance was a couple of pocket spills...with a little silver...YES!

After a couple of hours, daddy looked at me and said "lets go back to that camp where we have been finding all that good stuff for the past month"....Not one to argue with my father, I agreed. We pulled in and I made a B-line right toward the area where I had found the confederate C.S.A button last week. Half way there I got a good signal and decided to dig...mind you, I had literally walked about 50 yards from my truck....

So, I turned the plug of soil over and that's when I could see the back of the plate, in the hole, with the hooks facing up. I called to my dad and told him that I had found a belt plate, but didn't know what yet. He came walking over about the time that I had recovered the plate and flipped it over to see a beautiful C.S.A. on the front of it.....BOY DID I DO A HAPPY DANCE....AND YELL...AND DANCE...AND YELL...AND STOMP...AND OH MY GOODNESS..AND SO ON...!

Here is my first confederate buckle...

Iv'e been mding for a couple of years and the best iv'e found is a 36 cal bullet. I agree with the crowd. BANNER !!!!!!

I think there's going to be a mutiny if this isn't made a banner soon. WTH does it take? Sure a class ring is nice, an arrowhead is nice but COME ON.

OK guys,
I think I have this figured out.
I do not know why & I'm not 100% I'm right on this But....
I think the reason this has not made the banner is because the pictures are not being hosted on T-net.

crashbro17x, did you upload these pictures from a photo hosting website like photo bucket or some other site like it?
If so maybe try loading them to T-net.

You would think that one of the mods would tell us or at least crashbro17x what' ups.

OK! Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention. I had read the banner "rules"...but I was thinking that it said that the picture must be posted on TN and not posted by a link ::)

silly me! I don't know what I was thinking...Maybe she will get it now!

Now the picture of the buckle is uploaded to the TN server...lets see what happens!

No, I think it's too late.

De-Banner.

You are welcome! I hope this does it!

I think the Mods just wanted to see how long we would throw a tamtrum before they stepped in & told us you did not follow one little rule. I'm sure there is a reason for the rule & it's not small to T net.
My dad would do this to me when I was young. I would throw a fit about something & he would let me stew for a good while. Then say to me " now you want me to tell you why?"

I understand....it probably has a lot to do with leagality and copyrights and such ....I just wish that I had known :BangHead:

...My bad guys! :sign12:

Must be approved at some govermental level or somethin...Maybe the Social-Security Department or something....That's why it's taking so long to make this find a BANNER!!!!!! :tard:
