Sometimes you just can't dig any deeper.

Was out have a Civil War sites morning doing a little brush whacking. Found one very interesting items not your every day find. This place has so much iron in the ground is ridiculous. Found a couple of head stamps one bullet and a rivet. Now this is where it gets interesting. There are groundhogs in the woods because it is next to a field. Always check where they have dug sometimes they throw out things. Scene where a fresh hole was Dug so I go investigate. It was caved in from all the rain is what I thought. Scan over the dirt pile and right on top of the dirt was the two buttons. Stuck the coil down in the hole as it was big enough about blasted my ears of. So I commenced to digging which was not easy with the leash. Had my whole arm stuck down in the hole scooping dirt out. After a half an hour finally got the piece out. I assume the groundhog couldn't dig his hole any deeper because there was this big piece of metal. He sure did give it a good try though.:lol:It's amazing what a little soap and water will do on a rusty piece of metal.;)I forgot to add that it is a side piece of a stove.

Sweet and yes let them do the work for you !

Wish I had 50 of them working for me 😃
 
Wow that is so cool!!! Nicest stove part I've seen and I've found some nice ones! I ALWAYS scan gopher holes/dirt piles and never once found anything but I will keep doing it after this post! :D
 
Very nice finds, impressive. Ive dug to China and gave up several times, like we all have.

Congrats on a fun hunt.
 
Nice finds ! way to persevere, not to mention risking life and at least limb..

I take it the Ground Hog guarding your relic being still in the hole never crossed your mind :laughing:

There is quite a few of them working for me. I appreciate all the help I can get when it comes to digging.

That is the best piece I have found. Most of the time they are broken
