Hey all, My name is Mike. I figured I may as well join. I've been detecting for 36 years and started when I was 14.
I just recently made the find of my lifetime that is at the top of a lot of Civil War Relic hunters list.
That’s awesome! In my neck of the woods, Northern California, the militia didn’t even have uniforms. They couldn’t get the state to pay for them, despite being in the heyday of the gold rush. They were self outfitted for dealing with Turf wars with the Indians.
