Spent 3 days down in VA looking for CW relics. Had a great time as always with my buds from MI, and seen many old friends. That is always the best part of these hunts. Finds were slim for me, but I did get a bucket list coin. Day two I got a perfect high tone quarter signal. Turns out it was 1/50 of a quarter. Got my first ever US Half Cent. 1851. She has a hole in the center, but no doubt came from a soldiers pocket. I am very happy to have found it. Only a few other finds including some still in wood. A fun one for me was a piece of buck shot inside of a small tree. The fun part is you can shake it like a rattle. 715 miles to home driving through some nasty near white out condition at times but made it back to MI around 9pm last night. Hoping everyone made it home safe. God bless you all.

Congrats on your first of hopefully many large cents?
Nice finds on the bullets too!
What art of Virginia were you in?
We had 85 degrees here one day and the next day it was in the 30’s and snowing like crazy!!

WoW very nice! 
My wife's sister lived in VA. She didn't detect but during her gardening she would sometimes dig up things unexpected and sometimes she would send me some of her finds.
She once sent me a dozen faceted glass door knobs from clear to rose color, a few with the plates. Also some nice old keys and misc. items. I was always on the hope for some CW stuff but that never happened. She lived in an big old house and had a nice chunk of land - would have been nice for detecting.
And your first ever US Half Cent

Congratulations on the half cent! That denomination is still on my bucket list - unless you count some mostly rotted zincs…

We had dropped a hint for a visit once but at the time my wife's sister was having issues with her husband and felt it wasn't time to plan on a trip. Her issues with her husband was getting progressively worse, about the time he left her she came down with cancer. Everything went downhill to the point she passed away so we didn't get the chance - long story short.
Yes I would have liked to detect her property but her life was falling apart and she felt at the time it would be better off not visiting so we went with her wishes.
