<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 4248424, member: 106826&quot;]I suppose it&#039;s always a bonus to be working an area where relics and coinage can be found.&nbsp; Up to now, I haven&#039;t invested in a serious metal detector mainly because I haven&#039;t pursued it with fervor, but I learned at an early age to dig even when the discriminator said it was foil (or iron).&nbsp; You never know what you will find buried and while I have dug up my fair share of junk, it&#039;s the thrill of the hunt!&nbsp; Treasure is the bonus.&nbsp; I had an opportunity as a youngster to go on a hunt in the Mechanicsville VA area to relic hunt (Civil War), but we didn&#039;t have time on that summer vacation to do some digging.&nbsp; We did visit the gentleman who was going to host the event, and he did give me a few relics he dug on his own property: Union/Confederate bullets, button backs, and other objects (probably buckles). </p><p><br /></p><p>I enjoy seeing your finds and would love to see what others are finding too.&nbsp; I can appreciate the frozen tundra issue; I recall being impatient waiting for the ground to thaw.&nbsp; But not a problem this winter on the shore of CT.&nbsp; I can only recall a couple days when the ground felt hard beneath my feet.&nbsp; I may need to fire up my old detector tomorrow and see what&#039;s scattered about.&nbsp; And thanks for sharing![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
