Amy and I meet Adam for a few hours of digging and turned out to b a good day. Dug my first Box Plate. I almost did not dig it sounded like a beer can just under the ground. But there it was only 4 inches down. also got some led and a nice chunk of a Hotchkiss round.

That's more than a chunk of a Hotchkiss, it's nearly a complete nose section of a case shot. Search that area real well including the hole it came out of for the other broken off section and the case shot balls.

Great finds!
 
Very nice and cool

Nice to see there is still treasure to be found!
Congratulations!
