I think you could have called it 2009s finds and it would easily pass for a years worth!

Talk about a bonus being able to hunt most, if not all of the Winter! I bet we only have a week in for each month you guys have, and we're basically shut down again. (very soon) I like those early 1800s military!

Thanks IronPatch , and yes you're right about being able to hunt the whole year round, us guys that live this far South are all lucky for that! Appreciate it, and I agree, the early 1800s buttons are among my favorite as well so far

Of course I like the Spanish silver, it's just that when you dig an early button there's a better chance of it being something very different than what you had found in the past. A button is what I'll be swinging for today!

Yes, I like digging an old Military button first as it lets me know that I'm dealing with not only a potential civilian spot with Spanish Silver but also verifies that there's good military items as well

Thanks Dawg. Jeff and I have been hitting it hard this year. I suspect that you Have to sprinkle some luck in there with it to get this concoction of finds. Plus we've really been getting permission at a TON of new sites almost everyday we've been knocking and gaining permissions which is a HUGE part in being sucessful at relic and coin diggin as you know! Thanks again brutha :wink:

Nice post Sentinel, that's alot of finds for the first part of this year. I like the coins and the bullets, I've only found one three ringer in my three years of detecting. Seeing your findsis making me want to get out, but work is busy so maybe next week. :thumbsup:

Thanks Jer, I was just tellin someone the other day that luck plays a small part but knowledge of the history of an area plays a bigger part BUT to me...the biggest part is knockin those doors down to get permission at new places....well weve been fortunate to get permission at several new spots this year...we try to get at least one a day

Dang....I'd think those Kentucky Guerillas would've dropped a good deal out there....I guess they were smart and didn't let their ammunition go to waste such as falling carelessly on the ground after reaching into the ammo pouch for a bullet.
I guess because they're no real infantry actions in Kentucky, that's probably the reason for the low number of bullets. Kentucky was mostly home to Confederate Cavalry, our beloved RAIDERS! :icon_thumleft:
