I just spent about 45 minutes doing a post and lost it :veryangry: so here is the condensed version
I got to Culpepper on Wednesday and spent ALL DAY LONG at the motel waiting for the meeting Thursday night...coulda' had a coffee or dry hamburger in all that time Met up with the Forum folks Thursday night.
Great folks to be around, and I want to thank Butch and Pam. These are some 1st class people
and it was great meeting Jim ...Ed of course is alway a hoot
We got to the place we were hunting- Brandy Rock and this is the house that occupies to farm. You can see period pictures of this house during the CW.

My first good target was this tool which looks to be a chisel of some sort

A couple of hrs later I dig my first CW bullet..a Williams Cleaner Type 1
I later got a 3 ringer 
On Saturday I dug a cool bullet worm and small buckle and late that day Ed's buddy Keith put me over a good target. Turned out to be a Eagle button. Thanks Keith 
All in all it was a fantastic trip.
