Forgot to add that I use the RNB 2900 Lithium Ion battery in my V3. I have used it for over 2 years now with nothing but good things to say.

It keeps a charge much longer than my stock NiMH battery when not in use and most importantly, when I am out in the field miles away from the truck.

I am wanting to upgrade to the RNB 3100 soon.

awesome find! I don't know if I'd have the nerve to dig that up!

I use an RNB battery in my minelab safari, they are worth every penny. No more worrying about charged batteries, I've yet to come close to wearing out the RNB in a day.

This is the very first time I have ever seen a find flip flop in its grave!

If anyone is wondering what I mean look at the first two pictures. The same root is there. However the shell seems to have turned head over heals after he dug it!



Aside from it turning around, it is an awesome piece of CW history. Glad it was already defused! Need to be very careful of jumping targets I would think, especially explosive ones.

You know you've made it big time when you get your first conspiracy theorist.

That bottom picture was just as I was uncovering it. I was too excited to take any in between. I should have made a video, but I am made more for radio.

After I plucked it from the hole, took a couple photos holding it, texted all my friends/family, I dropped it back in the hole for one more picture before back filling. I guess I was not as authentic to detail as I should have been.

That bottom picture you can just see the corner of the cannon piece that was also recovered laying beside it.

No conspiracy theory here. I was trying for a laugh. I thought flip flopping explosives was funny. Too new here to find smileys. I think it is an awesome find and I said so. Sorry if I didn't sound positive. PS. I was a cop for 9 years. sometimes little details like this just jump out at me.
