Had a Low Country dig with P@tch planned for Saturday but due to the Weather we decided we will go in few weeks. It only rained about 3inches instead of the 7-10 they called for so I asked this 30something year old kid if he wanted to go. He bought an AtPro a few months ago and had never been relic hunting so he jumped at the chance. I really wanted him to find somethings as I like to see people that have never found much to feel that feeling you get when you find something special. We headed out on our 3.5 hour drive and got to the site at 8am by 845 I had dug a few buttons a buckle and out pops this 1852 Servant Slave Tag. I send off a few pics to fellow relic hunters and sit back and watch Jason for a while. He's like a a kid at Christmas digging a thimble and buttons but he seemed more excited about digging a roundball than anything. I found my first Slave Tag in January and this one 8 months later and it does look like a baby compared to my first one. But the excitement is still huge.Still cleaning Tag as it's a slow process

A LITTLE slump? Tiger Woods is in a little slump, yours was much more serious. But the curse has been broken. Now get your butt down to the Swamp Pit and make up for some lost finds (I mean time).

You know that place is cursed for me or that's what I've been telling you because I think I have an unfair advantage with the Deus and have been giving a HUGE head start because I don't think Radio Shack makes the unit you use any longer.I've never seen tubes in a detector before yours,
