Hunted in a yard in the Spanish Fort Battlefield yesterday. 90 minutes found 14 bullets, the owner was a recent 2 tour Iraq returning US Army vet. He got a real kick of the hunt, I gave him 12 and keep 2. Told me to come back and I will after some rain. I know there are shell frags or complete shells in his yard.
But here is the real story...... I am at the Chiropractor and he comes in telling me a story about one of his other patients. Said she brought a Confederate Buckle in the other day to see if he knew anything about it, he knows I collect so he said he would ask me. The lady has a dirt spot in her yard that does not grow grass so she decides to dig it up and put new dirt and grass. She sees something metal and picks it up..........Surprise a buckle . Well he puts us together and she brings it by along with a few other items for me to see.
Gave her an estimate but did not seem to want to sell. Thankfully she did not clean, said just knocked the dirt off. I offered to clean some old hinges, fliles and bullets she also found for a chance to hunt her yard. She said she bought a cheap detector after finding the buckle but it appears has not found any good items. If I get to hunt the yard I will be sure to post, but it was great to just hold this beauty.
