This fall I've been doing more water than land due to a (temporary) medical issues that make bending to dig ground targets painful. These finds are from Thursday. I just found the pinhole (in my insulated waders) and repaired tonight that left me with a wet rear end Thursday.

Pictured below is the better stuff (all from waist to chest deep) I pulled outta fresh water since 11/11/12. Been giving the Excalibur a workout. The '51 is not in the frame of finds.

it don't take much at all to make me happy when relic hunting. I was so tired when I got back to the truck I had to wait for my hind end to catch up before I could leave. It was still sitting at that last hole I dug. :goodnight:

My 150th Silver Coin!

http://coinshooter.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/12-17-12-finds.jpg
I got out for a couple of short hunts today.

This morning I met my buddy LEROY247 for a brief field hunt on an old homestead and Civil War skirmish site. We were both hoping to find a little bit of old silver … but it was not to be. We each found a couple of flat buttons, though. You can see in the pic below that my big one still has some gilt on it! It is marked "Silvester Birmingham." I did a little online research and found that there was, indeed a gentleman named Silvester who owned a button company in Birmingham, England, which he sold around 1850 to emigrate to Australia. The other is a tiny oval-shaped button, evidently from a ladies' garment. It was very difficult to locate.

My coolest find this morning was the fired pistol ball (not sure of the caliber). I also found a knapsack rivet, a brass spoon bowl, and a couple of pieces of buckshot.

This afternoon I returned to the church site where I've been digging the last few afternoons. I dug 13 coins total, including three wheat pennies and a 1943-P War Nickel … MY 150TH SILVER COIN!!!

It was an awesome detecting day!
