:csflag: :detecting: Got out for the first time in months since the heat broke...

[Vernon in Virginia~Formerly Alaska]

[size=large] I was getting ticks in February of last "winter" even though I had so much deet on I was a walking bio hazard....
The strangely mild winter coupled with a ridicules hot summer topped off with a drought, caused the bug (tick, chiggers) to explode. Now y'all ain't gonna believe this but I was digging holes and finding ticks attached to earth worms! I have so many tick and chiggers bites on my legs that I look like someone shot me with a load of bird shot. As some of you know those bites take months to heal and the first week of a bite is not pleasant. I decided to just wait on the the weather to cool and rain to soften the ground...

[size=large]Hit a new field Sunday but got rained out after only a half hour. Did dig a few relics. Went back today and got some more.

[size=large]Nice 2 piece flower button; I thought it was a big fat juicy Confederate button until I cleaned it off. Found out it was made around 1830 by
Wadham's, Coe & Co. Could have been confederate worn. Thanks for looking.
