finally some CS relic hunting

[Anonymous]

Hi all!
Just back from Aruba.
I finally got out for a bit at a local hunted-out-spot. Everything here has 2 foot of hay growing on it.
This one tiny spot didn't. Real trashy, but the CS pulls the relics out even with the 10.5" coil.
First thing I dug was the patriotic suspender buckle! Followed by this perfect knapsack hook.

And then I dug this nice lockplate thinking it was a horseshoe. First lockplate
(off a musket) that I have found. The padlock was only made 1861-1865 so it's from
this Civil War site.

Buddy with me got a nice 12 lb cannonball frag and a Tombac button.

And I did some trading and obtained this nice Flagstaff tip found 40 years ago.

I was just asking Bill the other day where you had hidden yourself. I bet you can't wait for them to cut the hay!
