More CS Buckle pics

I figured the pic thing out, here they are. I found the Union bullet about 10 feet away from the buckle. Obviously a drop, with part of the casing still attached. Again, found on Sat the 8th of Aug in Goldsboro, NC.
 
Hello comisoas .......WOW......that's a super find!
I'd be so happy to find one of those.
About how deep was it?
Great job............H.H......conehead
 
I've found a CS tongue, a CS spur and a CS button ...... but never a CS belt buckle ! Great job again. Awesome find. Thanks for posting. CCH.
 
It was about 4 or 5 inches and gave a solid 83 on the meter of the F-75. As long as the coil got near it, I couldn't miss!
 
I'd be smiling to buddy. That's a great find. I don't have any CS plates. Got some cool reb buttons. HH TIM
 
I've been looking for a CS plate since mid-1970's. Found two reb stirrups, 2 yank breast plates, a yank 6 pounder and, oh yes, A Reb Archer Bolt about 18" down, with sabot in bottom of the hole-but NEVER a Rebel belt plate. I did, however, find a model 1834 U.S. Officer's General Staff Buckle, rarity 8, at the home of the grandson of a man who served with the Louisiana Militia in the seminole Indian war in 1836 with Old Andy Jackson hisdoggonedself all the way to Pensacola. The Grandson WAS a Rebel in the 9th LA Inf. who was seriously wounded at Sharpsburg (Antietam) and retired for the remainder of the war. He probably helped with the Homeguard after his wounding. We now own that property in rural Louisiana. I'd trade the all my finds for the CS plate you found. Maybe this year....again.
 
Yes sir, those are awesome finds you have found flyntgr! This buckle came from out of nowhere....the last thing I expected to find. It is fairly common to find bullets and an occasional button, but this is the first belt buckle. I have found 2 eagle plates, but it has been a long time. Thanks for your comments.
 
That's is why we all keep relic hunting against all odds. Maybe some day we all will find something great like that buckle! Great find and thanks for sharing your rare buckle!
 
I agree with garys relics. :clapping:
 
Thanks for all the nice comments. You are right, you just have to keep hitting it and one day when you least expect it, you find the big one. I just saw that Treasurnet made it a Banner find. Wow. What an honor.

Its the MOAB. Mother of all Buckles !
 
Yesterday I found an eagle button within 10 feet of where I found the buckle. It has a D on the shield. Pretty cool. Also found a button back. One thing I learned (again) is to keep the disc low and dig all good repeatable sounds. The first times I hit this spot, I had my F-75 disc set up at about 40 because I did not want to spend my limited time digging trash. Now I went back with disc set at 3 and I am finding all kinds of stuff in the spot....buffalo nickel, big CW rivet, buttons, a piece of old jewelry, a Chinese cash coin and other misc stuff.....all in the same small area that I had hit about 5 times earlier. Keep that disc low. The F-75 is great for this kind of hunting since all of the iron is just grunts of sound, good stuff gives a nice signal.
 
If you are not presently doing so, try hunting that F-75 in the ALL METAL MODE. Dig all 'good' signals. You'll be surprised with the results. CCH.
 
Thanks for the advise. I have not tried this. I have been 2F, sens 75 and disc at 0. I dig all good signals. Since finding the buckle, in the same area this past week I found a Dragoon eagle button, Connecticut state seal, 2 eagle buttons and yesterday I found a Wilmington & Manchester RR tag. I have found many pieces of old brass and part of a rifle butt. I am looking forward to finding much more over the next months.
 
Good on you! I hope to be so lucky one day.
