DIV 50 Find of a Lifetime Civil War Relic Found In Virginia

Never thought I would find one of these Confederate buckles. But that's why I go to Diggin In Virginia hunts.

Just amassing how many minnie balls have been dug and are still being found 😁👍

[@baystateplugflipper7061]

Nice work!!!!

[@EofBrokenSilence]

Awesome find! I found one in, I believe, that same camp several DIVs ago, long before GPX. Congrats!

[@deltafreshrelics1660]

Incredible. Thanks for taking the time to film all these digs. Just awesome.

[@ClintsHobbiesDIY]

My wife and I were there also. Congrats on the great CS Tongue. Great collection of finds. All the spots were new to us except two. We may have found more if we had known the hot spots.

[@RelicsRings]

I don't think there are really any hotspots left. You just have to pick a known area of occupation and work it.

[@joshshelton796]

That is my #1 dream find right there!! Awesome video man!

[@RelicsRings]

Thanks, yea a dream come true for me.

[@richardklapka5147]

I knew what you found right away! Oh my!!! Congrats!!! Rk.

[@RelicsRings]

Thanks it was very unexpected

[@twotavernstodd]

I would love to go there one day

I found a CS tongue here in Va also. The wreath part was not with mine either. I have gone back there about 4 or 5 more times looking for it but no luck yet. Good job! My son's friend found a wreath next to my property which belongs to my brother but there was no tongue with it. I have many other buckles, US, VMI, clipped corner, US sword plate, etc. I have only been hunting for a few years and have a collection that most people find in 30 years. I don't even use a pulse machine but probably could get even more if I had one.

[@RelicsRings]

Great job! Sounds like you have made a lot of great finds

[@CameronMaser]

Wow buddy! I'm super happy for you and super jealous!

[@wvdigrrr9509]

Heck of a hunt bud! you pulled a nice variety of relics...CS tongue is killer!

[@RelicsRings]

Thanks it was a big surprise.

[@jimbonito9810]

Sweet ...congrats

[@joemiller8965]

A lot of awesome relics! Congrats on the CS tongue! Too bad the wreath wasn’t there ! Nevertheless , awesome hunt! Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@RelicsRings]

Believe me I looked for it and it actually could still be there as there is lots of fence wire and fencing staples at this site.

[@Josh-jy9rj]

good stuff. how far down, bout 18 in? I'm always curious how deep some of these things end up being

[@RelicsRings]

About 12-14" deep.

[@thomaslockwood8870]

Wow. Nice buckle! I can't believe those .69 mini balls. Tear you a new one!

[@jeffp6013]

What kind of detector are you using??? I want to go to a DIV and I use a Nox 800

[@RelicsRings]

Minelab GPX. Equinox will work but is going to have limited depth.

[@debbieknebel1009]

Never been to one of these digs but have worked to perfect my digging skills to respect the owner's property. It seems like most of these are dug haphazardly and don't see holes carefully refilled. Does the video not show refilled holes or is that the norm?

[@RelicsRings]

Holes are filled to the standard requested by the land owner.

[@debbieknebel1009]

@@RelicsRings so glad to know. I have heard some digs recently people had left them and owners were upset. Also, so many newbies trying to learn and wanted to pass on precaution to them to fill the holes. Interesting finds l, thanks for sharing.

[@rustymebane8265]

Dave slings more dirt out of the hole 🕳️ than most too😳🤦‍♂️😂.

[@midnightthinker5479]

Where in va?

[@ChrissyEis]

Me and my boy are working a civil was camp she union way North east Ohio many great civil war token s coin s and eagle buttons artillery shell fragments and a few belt buckles can’t believe we found a virgin site in 2023 we will work this field until I die

[@ChrissyEis]

My rarest find was a topographic engineers shield off a horse confederate With CSI written in old English cursive writing so rare no other found offers over 4 thousand dollars on many occasions I denied

[@ChrissyEis]

Also found in Ohio this time about a hour from Kentucky lol😊

[@RelicsRings]

@ChrissyEis nice find. Yea I usually don't sell my stuff either.

[@michaelrheam2497]

Do you turn all of this in ?

[@RelicsRings]

To who?

[@lawandaclayton8888]

W hat do you mean when you a bullet has been dropped.

[@RelicsRings]

It means it wasn't fired. The bullets came with a paper cartridge filled with gun powder. They just had to load the paper cartridge through the barrel, rather than everything independently.

[@robertbarrett9584]

Dude to much face, but great digs....

[@Tom-h3s4x]

Ok, I'll never get THAT 30 minutes back...
