This is my GREATEST find!

Thanks for sharing this outstanding find Robert. I think the naysayers, against us detecting old sites, should take notice of your efforts.

Thank you again.

Thanks Brittany-Guy!

Every time we take out our detector, we have a resposibility to history, to tell the artifacts story the best that we can.

And as their caretakers, we hold these items we seek for such a short time, and we literally hold their future in our hands.

Here is a story from the local TV in Charleston, S.C.

By the way, I am a relic hunter..NOT an archaeologist!

What an incredible, historic find and the most significant I've seen here for sure. Makes a handful of gold coins seem almost worthless in comparison.

Great work and thank you for your find!

I never thought anything about metal detecting would make me cry. Amazing find.

I am reading this on Thanksgiving, months after your initial post and it brings tear to my eyes - what a wonderful discovery and deserving dignified burial.

What an amazing turn of events from the hobby you love. It can't get any better than this!
