I am still in shock at this find I made today. This was the last thing on my mind was to dig a two piece tongue and wreath side by side. I found the wreath first at about 3-4 inches very low smooth tone with a TID of 38, was just in hog heaven went over to my digging partner Ted to show him, told him that part of the field was off limits until I made a effort to find the tongue (never thinking it would happen). After about 15 Min's of can you believe it and no way I went back to my hole (thinking to myself I better recheck the hole). I turn my machine on, maybe 4-5 inches to the right of that hole I received another singled, thinking yea right I dug down about 1 1/2- 2 inches had a TID of 35 and out came the tongue and after close inspection as I had never seen one like it the letters VSS came to light (Vicksburg Sharp-Shooters), I was totally shocked, surprised and stunned all at once. The dices were rolled just right today and the good Lord was looking down upon me. Since I have moved to Virginia my goal was to find a Mississippi I, never did I think in a million years I would find a two pieces tongue and wreath associated with Co E 12th Mississippi Regt from Warren County, Miss. Was found using the Minelab Safari.
 
OH MY GOODNESS......:thumbup:...WHAT A RECOVERY. I don't know why we don't have a BANNER category on Finds Treasure forums. If we did this would surely make it. I think it is safe to say that your recovery will rate as one of the best, if not the best, for the year. Congratulations. HH TomB
 
THAT'S A GREAT FIND!!!:clap: MISSISSIPPI AND A GREAT ONE TO THINK TOO :clapping:
 
The Lord is good . Looks like he blessed you with an amazing find.
 
That is who I plan on donating it to in my will. The Warren County Courthouse in Vicksburg, Mississippi were the 12th Mississippi originated from.
 
Great save, WTG:clapping:
