North Carolina Sweeeet find!

Breezie · Feb 25, 2011

Despite the wind gust up to 40mph today, I had to go out and test my new Garrett Pro-Pointer (love it.) I went back to an area where I found a 1863 Springfield trigger guard(What Is It Post: What Kind of Gun?). It is also the same area where I have found numerous CW buttons, camp relics, and 'the' 17th Century Spectacle buckle. Finally after 30+ yrs. of MD in NC, I found this sweeet button. This NC button is a first for me! The first photo is not very good because I took it with my cell phone (and shaking other hand.) Breezie

Awesome button!
30 years of hunting

You must have started when you were 5 right? :-)

I also hunted for years and years without a Pro Pointer and I couldn't believe the difference it made when I got mine. Faster finds, less chance of damaging coins, smaller holes/plugs.
I have lost mine 3 or 4 times in the woods and luckily my hunting buddies or myself has found it again each time but I have devised a new way to prevent this from ever happening again.

OMGoodness! I had no idea I made the banner until tonight. I've been working this weekend, and just popped in for a few minutes, and when I saw it on the banner, I thought, 'somebody found a NC Staff button!' :laughing7:

Thank you all; I really appreciate all the kudos and votes. Y'all are guuuud folks! I've attached a pic of the ole gal cleaned-up. It may have gotten cleaner, but I was afraid to leave it in the lemon juice too long.
