As y'all know the Diggin in Virginia hunt was this weekend and I think the forum was well represented. I hunted with a friend from around my area, Jason Traverse AKA ConfederateBadBoy, and enjoyed the company on the trip up and back. We left out Thursday A.M. for the long ride up to Culpeper. We stopped in Waynesborough for gas and food when I got a phone call from my wife asking where I was, Told her where and she said she had just heard on Fox news where someone was shooting at cars on 64 at the top of the hill. Great, we're about 10 minutes from there, You never seen the beat, State troopers everywhere looking for the nuts that were shooting at cars. Made it through the area and headed on. After checking in and eating a bite I found Butch and Craig then we met up with Ed at his room and had a bunch of laughs until we had to go to the pre-hunt meeting. Let me tell y'all them boys are alright, I hate I didn't get to spend more time with them. I got my butt whooped by the hot Virginia soil the first day, my first 25 targets were rocks, I'd never hit a hot rock before but man I know what they are now. Got about 5 bullets, 5 lbs of nails and iron and 20 pounds of rocks the first day. The second day was better though, got 6 more bullets, belt adjuster, eagle button and one hole that I opened up read Iron ( heck they all did ), It had a J hook, eagle button, nail and hot rock in it. I ended the day opening a hut up. Sunday I hollered at Ed and Butch on the radio and found out that Craig tore out that morning, Dang Bubba I didn't get to see ya off but really enjoyed meeting you. Got a few melted minnies out of the hut and started another. Opened it up and out pops a umbrella Ink well. Sure didn't expect that. Ate a great BBQ dinner and saw a bunch of killer finds before finishing out the day. We left at 3:00 and headed back to Tennessee wore out and tired. Here's my pics, hope you enjoy.

Sorry no picture of Bubba, the rascal disappered before I could get him. No I didn't find a bunch of stuff or a real heart stopping find, but I did get a bunch of first time finds and more importantly I got to see some internet buddies and goof around with them for the weekend. Craig, Ed and Butch, I had a great weekend and enjoyed y'alls company, Hopefully we'll get together at another one.....Flipper out
