Primary Interest:
Relic Hunting
I went out digging on January 1, 2015 and made my best find ever, a Virginia Tongue in perfect condition! What a way to start the new year! I don't know if I will ever top this one, my hands were shaking sitting there holding it. You just never know what is coming out of the ground next, I sure wasn't expecting to ever find a Virginia Tongue but it happened. A memory that will last a lifetime. Thanks for looking and happy hunting.

What is something like that worth if you were to sell it?
 

Nice one nice condition...
 

I do not plan on selling it. I do not know a value yet but I will be asking around. Maybe someone here may know.

Very nice indeed.
 

Great find! I have seen a couple of those dug before but the keepers were broke off them. Yours is perfect. I am voting Banner!
 

Amazing find, and as you said once in a lifetime. A hearty congratulations to you my friend. Hope to see your find at the top of the page.
 

Banner banner banner! That is just one of the coolest designs as well
 

That truly is a find of a lifetime - congratulations!! A former member of my metal detecting club dug a varient of this same tongue at DIV in 2012. I might be wrong but I heard rumor that he was offered 5 figures for his and his was damaged. Here is a link to his blog with the story of his find. Detecting Saxapahaw: My find of a lifetime: Digging Virginia at "Diggin' in Virginia" I'm not claiming that yours is worth that or even the same tongue but this is without a doubt a banner find. Putting in my vote now.
