Hello all, I got out with Sentinel this weekend for 3 days of hard core, relentless relic hunting. Day one started at a Virgin site. We dug a "ton" of great relics. I dug a partial eagle button and a few coat and cuff disabled CW veterans buttons. I dug about eight three ringers. Unfortunately I put the pics of that day on a different camera. Day 2 we hit a colonial site where the house was built in 1747 and 1600 acres of land. This day the finds were few as the guy that took us there was showing us the lay of the land. My finds that day were a nice colonial Dandy button and and colonial pinky thimble. Day 3 we went back to the virgin site. I was planning on leaving to go home around 12 or 1 o'clock. YEAH right!. About 12:15 I got a good signal with a hint of iron and decided to dig it anyway. In the bottom of the hole layin face up I could see a BEAUTIFUL "S" staring at me!!!! I knew imediately what it was. I pulled it out and had a great US PLATE in my hand. I quickly called Josh over. He said "whatcha git?" I didnt want to yell out, where we were at as he was about 40-50 yds away. Just gave him a two thumbs up and waved him over. When he got there my adrenaline was going 10,000 MPH. Hands shakin and all. We then discovered that is was a US Box Plate. MAN O DAY!. What an intense feeling. Needless to say I had to stay a lil longer. I dug a few more buttons a clay pipe bowl and a stem. Finally was lookin for 1 more bullet before I called it. I guess it was bout 2:30 and I dug one more three ringer. There is ALOT in the finds pics that I did not mention. My wife called and asked how it was goin. All I could think of was the Priest in "Caddy Shack". "Im having the game of my life " and held my detector in the air but it was a clear sunny day. I was TRULY a dream hunt this weekend.
