After 2 1/2yrs...CutlassII Umax with 5.75 Coil did the trick

Story starts 2 1/2 yrs ago when I got permission to hunt old homesite built in 1893. Little did I know a confederate Veteran once lived there. First I dug his Reunion Badge 1895 Houston Texas.
Then awhile later I dug his Conferedrate Snake Buckle but it was missing one of the Keepers.
To Make a long story short after 2 1/2 yrs of using dozens of different detectors and coils. Trying everything in my arsenal past and present. Today with a sratchy choppy tone on my Cutlass II Umax w/ 5.75 coil attached. Amongest the Iron trash I unearthed the missing keeper. Now my Civil War Confederate snake buckle is complete. Good day for me.

That snake buckle is so unique looking.I am glade you finished that chapter for real.Boy,is that something to show off or what! :csflag:
 
You must be happy with that find , WOW
 
I wish that I would of paid more attention in History class when I was going to school. It always bored me when I was younger but now older and into detecting I am really interested in anything history related. I have learned more from talking to you folks down south and reading the forums than I think I did in school on the sunject. In all honestly (not that it isn't cool) if I was to find that buckle I would of said to myself that snake/duck looking thing is different and would of tossed it all away. Since I would of had no idea what it was, I would of saw it like some rusty metal here on the farm. Again not to take away from your great find, its just not knowing about these kind of things. Maybe some day if the mother load ever comes in I could go down south and do some relic type hunting, I have alot to learn about it.
 
Great find and dedication.......

perseverance pays off, you made a complete set, congratulations on a very unique civil war relic.
