The two little boys are RonandAnn's son's. They too, metal detected a short while and found a few things.

2nd Pic: CryptoDave and TheSleeper

3rd Pic: StogieJim regressing back in time with the boys of RonandAnn and Gary60 (now Sndman60). Jim, you are so cute!

4th Pic: CryptoDave teaching DCMatt the "Metal Detecting Swing Dance"

5th Pic: The "BEST SIDES OF METAL DETECTORS" ? :P

6th Pic: Gary60 (now Sndman60)'s wife....she had a great time and think we got another hooked!!!! She found 2 silver dimes...WTG!!!

7th Pic: Mike and DCMatt in a HOT SPOT! This area produced a bottle pit, a large cent, a barber dime......

8th Pic: TheSleeper and Angela (CryptoDave's Better Half )...coming from the location of possible Slave Quarters location. In 1937....this area was open fields...no trees!!!

9th Pic: Some bottles retrieved. On the far left is a cup, handle broke. The green bottle, not known yet. The brown bottle has BURNETT'S on the side of it. The clear one laying down has "RAWLEIGHS Trade Mark" on it. The round one with the crusted lid is the CAVALIER BOOT CREME (newspaper research shows this creme from the 40's and 50's), and the one on the far right looks like it had a bottle dropper in it, like ear drops or nose drops. On the RAWLEIGHS bottle...it has numbers on the sides, for measurement. You can see more pics in the albums.

10th Pic: Kiros ... right after finding a Barber Dime!!! WTG!

11th Pic: Stacey...Glad you were able to come out, even though it was only for a couple of hours...see you in October for a longer stay!!!

12th Pic: Justin, Stacey's Son...her partner in detecting!! Good to see you again Justin...hope to see you and your Mom again come October for a longer stay!

2nd Pic: Kiros 1905 S Dime...another Awesome find!!

3rd Pic: Gary60 (now Sndman60) with one of his sons....Glad to have you and the family as part of the VACards!

4th Pic: Possible location of Slave Quarters in the 1850's time frame. Note...this area was open field on a 1937 map....how long afterwards, don't know yet...but these trees were already popping up when the BSA bought the land in the late 50's.

5th Pic: Barn in same location as on the 1937 map...the smoke house was to the right of the this barn. The BSA tore down the Smoke House, due to the BS climbing in it and some getting hurt, some seriously. Many were heartbroken to see it come down...the road to Camp Lions runs over the location of the Smoke House, as per Ranger Dan. To the left of the barn was the hog pen and behind it was the chicken coop.

Thanks for posting these Ann. Honestly there were a TON of fantastic finds on this trip. Ann only posted a few of the pics. Wish we could have come for longer - next time for sure. Justin had a great time.

Congrats on a great hunt Annmarie! It seems like the finds are getting better and better with each hunt. There were actually some nice keepers found at this one! I love that 2 cent piece!! Looks like you guys froze your buns off alittle though. I know it was cold because I was out in it as well hunting in Culpeper. But never worry it looks like you fed everyone really well and looks like it generally was a good time with some nice finds.....I know that Ranger Dan was happy to have all those finds!!!!

That looked like a lot of fun! Congrats!
