I was invited to hunt my wifes stepfathers great great great grandfathers home stead by a friend that doesn't even detect.. He took me to the site and said the family told him that the guy lived on that hill in the field.. You guys know how that stuff goes sometimes but this time was dead on!

Awesome NC button! Is the eagle a general service? (I can't tell if it has a letter or not). Looks like that soil is hard on the coppers there though. Congrats on finding such a good site. I bet there is a reale or two up there also! Best wishes and HH, Dave.

infantry button.. the soil is rough up there because I'm getting away from the coast and moving inland.
