I went out hunting today with two buds, Harry and Ned. We hit an old farm field in Deep Creek, Virginia in an area with some Civil War history. We made a few nice coin and bullet finds there and then we went out to Suffolk, Virginia to some woods in an area that had a lot of Civil War action. We've hunted there before and pulled some bullets, buttons, and coins and we did it again today. The weather was great, the hunting good, and the targets fairly plentiful, so it was a good day. I was using my Quattro with the 12.5" EXcelerator coil at first and then switched to the FBS 1050 for the 2nd half of the hunt. Both performed admirably, as did the Quattro. Ned and Harry were using their Fisher CZ's and both of them found some nice stuff. I took a few pictures.

This is the first spot we hit and here's Ned with his CZ...

This was my first target recovery...an 1891 Injun.

Then the first of five of these 3-ringers...

Next up was this baby..

Harry and Ned at a fresh-scrape we found on the way to the woods...Ned and I both scored nice buttons here.

In the woods, Harry recovering a 3-ringer minnie ball...

The Quattro takes a breather and digs the scenery..

These are my finds. Note the absolutely NASTY V-nickel in the right corner...6 inches down and a solid 14 signal on the Quattro. Too bad it's toast. The Eagle button and the Barber dime were my two best finds of the day. The 3-ringer in the center of the buckle looks to have been chewed.

And finally, check this button that Ned dug. Anybody recognize it? I'll post it on the Relic Forum too. HH!
