Been making phone calls and running around doing PR for the upcoming detecting trips with Butch and Pam while they're here...

[Vernon in Virginia~Formerly Alaska]

I called one guy, and made sure it was OK to bring out of state Yankees onto their property to detect. Got a yes from him. Then today, my wife Sharon made a cinnamon roll cake for Robert. Robert is the guy who owns the land where I've been finding most of the Civil War relics on. So today I drove out there, and gave him the cinnamon roll, told him I had some (Yankee) friends coming from Colorado staying a few days, and asked if he would mind if I brought them there detecting... well, he was having trouble talking with a mouthful of cinnamon roll and throwing up his arms, but I think he said yes, we'll see!

While I was there, I detected for an hour, found 2 dropped .58 cal Civil War bullets, a modern hand gun bullet, a copper do-hicky and some ever-present and must-dig shotgun brass (could've been a small or broken button, or a myriad of other things). So at least I know that there are still some relics to be found, its a big place. I probably haven't covered 10% of it. The way I look at it; a bullet could have been a button, a breast plate, a buckle or even General Lee's own sword! So, if we take the batteries out of Pam's detector without her knowing it, Butch might to be able to find something.

I used to get to detect a property in the central Oregon desert that absolutely nobody was allowed on.
Living at the coast I'd just take the owner a nice big columbia river salmon. He couldn't wait for me to show up.

Now make sure Butch doesn't tangle with that mean bull dike lady that ripped your arse...

.... words already out among all 225 of us DIV diggers that Butch is telling everyone to "come on down to my bud Vernon's place and do some more diggin" .... Heck it will be OK, ... over half of these folks aren't yankees.

You might even make some money running food out to every one with your Deere.
