My partner and I had worn out the place we had been hunting for the past month. About 20 other relic hunters helped to wear it out as well. My partner got wind of some more ground being cleared soon close by. He was able to find it, they had just started. They only cleared a small area, bottom part of a hill side and a small flat area of about 2 acres. We showed up before the sun came up and my parted started up on the hill and I started just underneath. He did very well, pulling a lot of eagle and new York buttons and bullets. After a few hours, someone else showed up and went straight to the flat area. After a while, it was time for my partner to share the hillside. He didn't leave me any buttons, I did get some bullets, tent grommets, and leather tacks. I also got a rifle sling hook. Another relic hunter showed up and he joined the other guy in the flat area. We hit that hill side until our detectors went silent 
. I noticed the woods above us that wasn't bull dozed was full of dug out hut sites, more than I have ever seen. I went in there and was able to pull out 2 eagle buttons. After 5 hours, one of the other guys came over and told he was out, he only came up with one bullet. We decided to go down to the flat area and see if they left us anything. The other guy decided to go into the woods. Not 5 minutes into it, right in the middle of this area, I get a slamming hit. I figured it would just be a beer can, there were a lot of them around, and the other guys had just left it buried, I mean, how could you miss it? And out it came, the emotion that hits when you find something like that is just crazy, especially after a very long day. This is my second one this year, but this one is in much better shape. It has W.H. Smith Brooklyn.
I still have some cleaning to do on it, if anyone has any suggestion that would be great. I has some pretty tough grit stuck to it. Thanks. HH.
