Find of a lifetime

I've always wanted to dig one of those, more than anything else in the world. You found a fantastic example of an Atlanta Arsenal CSA. Cherish it, DO NOT SELL IT, YOU WILL REGRET IT THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

I see you list an AT Pro in your sig. You should submit that to Garrett's find of the month contest.

Congrats,

Papa

If you found that with the AT Pro, you definitely need to submit it to Garrett!! I can't imagine that anything would beat it.

Congratulations!!

Congratulations!!

I am going to be emailing treasure hunting magazines also. I just need to have it authenticated. That's happening this week. I've already contacted Steve Mullinax. Thanks and HH!

 

[Graysondigger]

Now authenticated!!

Now it's official! Steve Mullinax authenticated the buckle this evening!

Even though I knew it was genuine it feels good to have it "certified" genuine.

Good luck to you !

I know this is a stupid question,

And, obviously, I have never been in the military, much less combat, but how does someone lose a belt buckle on a battle field? Does this have something to do with a human body versus a cannon ball?

The only thing we came up with was that the soldier survived the war probably just lost it in the front yard. We didn't find any other CW relics in the area. But who knows? Anything is possible when it comes to how the buckle ended up where I found it. That's one of the many mysteries surrounding lot's of things we find.

Congratulations!!

Thanks. I did enter it and received confirmation from Garrett that they got it. If it doesn't win FOTM I feel confident it will at least be in the runner up category. I know it has a very good chance and I will find out next Monday or Tuesday how it turned out. HH!

Thanks man. At this time I have no plans on selling it. But if someone comes up and offers 5 or 6 grand I would seriously think about it. I know it's valuable but probably somewhere around 3000 to 3500?

 

[FistFullOfCoppers]

Awe man that thing is awsome.

[Dirtfishin]
