Very Emotional When the Unthinkable Happens While Metal Detecting

[@duckscustomgarage9239]

Patrick is a good man to let you keep the box plate and buckle .That is a true friend.

[@gr8finds196]

He sure is. I was getting the signal for the one piece and like a dummy I gave up and went and set in the sun to warm up. The water is getting colder this time of year and I was freezing. Thanks for watching us.

[@MrBobguy3]

For real idk if my buddies would do the same.

Those were some awesome finds, the best of which is a friend like Patrick to give up such rare treasures for his buddy. That's a man who will find much treasure in life. That's just how that works. Enjoyed the video, thanks.

Definitely an emotional group of finds Mike!!!! It was nice of your Diggin buddy to give the other two pieces to you.

[@gr8finds196]

Yes it was. I had the one signal and gave up on it. and like a dummy I went across the stream to warm up in the sun for a minute and told him tp dig it if he wants. He just felt bad since I dug the breast plate and it was obvious it all came from the same soldier. Thanks again EZDiggin

What an amazing find all three together, Hats off to Patrick for doing such a good deed in letting you have the other to keep the set together, I would put them together in a wall display case by them selves as a memorial to the soldier that probably died right in that very spot. Either someone missed them before or there could be other relics belonging to him there.

[@gr8finds196]

Thanks Ricky for your kind words!!!! Appreciate ya

[@rogerparker329]

Such an amazing hunt and to find the holy trinity of civil war find is so special even if tinted with sadness, knowing it is possible someone list their life near that spot. The fishing lure was first made in the 1920's and I believe are still being made today using the same methods.

WOW! So how do you know it’s a complete set?! I would love to see pictures and history lesson.

[@gr8finds196]

A soldier would have had the eagle breast plate on his chest on the leather strap for his bullet cartridge box. The buckle was for his belt and the other one was on his bullet cartridge box flap. he must have actually fell here and something bad happened for there to be all 3 right in that spot.

@@masonmercmetaldetecting these was all a set. Box plate. Buckle and breast plate. We wouldn't have felt right separating them. I felt bad at the same time though. I had been digging for the buckle and went across the stream to warm up in the sun. I kind of gave up on it. It was deep in the rocks. He decided to keep trying on it for me. Lesson learned to never give up on a deep signal.
