Re: new here (James Hill civil war finds.)

I live in the town where james hill lived , i know the history very well , i have permission to hunt the yard the button and the badge were about 4 ft, apart . and about 7 inches down, black sand river bottom soil., the back of the badge you can see where the pin clasp was , here are some pics . of the house, and the front yard , i also found the skeleton key for the house ,in the front yard , he built the house in 1856 , moved back here after the civil war and was very important in the history of the town, this spring the front porch is coming off, added at a later date , it covers the front and side of the house and extends 8 to 9 ft. out , so might be some good stuff there too, i hope , i had a write up on the whites detector page for oct, 2007. found with a whites prizm 5 , i now use a minelab se , so i might find deeper stuff in the yard. thanks for looking

Hey Dave.... Welcome aboard.

Thanks for putting a picture of "my baby" up. Can't get enough of that Barber.

That's a neat looking house. Have you been able to get inside and check the walls and floors?

Any chance that's a real opal in the first picture? If it is, it's a very nice one!
