[size=large] The relics were calling my name today. My choices for the afternoon was; cut the grass and wash the truck, or go detecting... hmmm.[/size]

[size=large]This one's just for you Bobbie, the curious cows came to bug me. It was already too hot, I drank the diet Mountain Dew I had with me and was still dying of thrist, and now I have to put up with a bunch of slobbering cows.[/size]

[size=large]Nice, lush, green pasture grass with Civil War relics hiding beneath it.[/size]

[size=large]Got this belt rivet with a good bit of leather still attached.[/size]

[size=large]Digs for today; the big square thing I believe is an old brass or copper compact; I found it near a post-war house site, so I don't think its Civil War related. Two small percussion caps and other whatnots. The star was a heart thumper, but I believe its aluminum and not Civil War related either. Bummer.
