[size=large]After we had a good breakfast at Mountain Man's house, we were off to an early start in the relic fields. Here's a picture of Mountain Man in the early morning fog. Paul had completely disappeared somewhere in the distance. [/size]

[size=large]Using a very small coil on my XLT, I was able to dig this perfect Spencer casing, 4" from another hole that had been dug. The little coil proved its worth in the heavy iron areas. [/size]

[size=large]The tiny coil also retrieved this Lynchburg lead seal from I'm guessing cotton bales, or tobacco. [/size]

[size=large]Dug several bullets.[/size]

[size=large]Here is a picture of the better relics.[/size]
