Default Good luck this weekend...

Here in Virginia, we're blessed with beautiful weather which we've been way over due for.

If you're out hunting today, good luck!

Thanks, same back to you. No hunting today but hopefully tomorrow.
There is a spot along Airport drive that I've been meaning to check out, so I may go there before I go back to the big hole.
Good luck everyone.

Jamie.

This weekend was officially awesome!!!

Hunted two sites, the first site produced a carved on enfield bullet, a very small piece of lead shaped into a rectangle, two percussion caps and a brass sword hanger stud. Along with various iron nails and pieces of artillery shell.

At the second site I found a large piece of iron and my best find of the weekend, two New York cuff buttons. <-- it's my first button of the kind (have only found flat buttons up until now).

They were near each other....perhaps a New York soldier lost both of them in 1862, which is probably when they were dropped due to the history of the site.

Hope everyone was able to get out and dig this weekend.

!! Glad you had a great weekend. Didn't accomplish much myself, but there's always tomorrow. I'm gonna hit a couple of fields in goochland in the morning. Hopefully I'll do better then.

Jamie.

Thanks! Oh, I cannot wait to change the clocks next weekend so I can use that extra hour for hunting in the evening after work during the week.

Here are the two cuff buttons I found over the weekend. I have a few more items in an album on my profile page.
