What a great day to dig CW relics in VA

[Hutch911]

Meet up with Todd (Tcooper) at 6am for some CW digging. Started out slow for me Todd was killing the lead and we started across a 120 acre field to hunt this sweet looking ridge line. Todd move out with the cooler and I decided to swing over to the ridge and I am glad I did.About half way a got a iffy bullet signal on the old TDI so I opened the hole and it went to large Iron! DAM then I said what the heck my pinpointer was going nuts so I keep digging and digging and at around 2 feet there she was a 12 pound borman! I filled in my crater and meet up with Todd and that ridge turned out to be a nice little hot spot! Thanks for looking!

That was a GREAT day Hutch!!! That's a good looking ball and the lead and buttons are very good for this time of year. That Todd on relics is like a hound dog after a bone-LOL. Congrats Bud, Quindy.

That is one NICE FIND!!...I love digging shells and cannonballs. There's just something about them that screams CIVIL WAR!...I have a couple that I need to take to Harry Ridgeway too. I hunted Prince William, Stafford and Spotsylvania counties for many yrs. I know of tons of places I used to hunt up there. Perhaps I could take y'all to a couple of places this Fall when I come to Va. (I'm in NC now)
