RACER Scores yet again ....Two days in a row It pulls out a big score

Well if the 1662 two pence were not enough yesterday this sure made my weekend. Went to a little different area not far from where I found the coin and I turned up a beauty of a find and me being an Artillery reenactor this was even more special. Washington Artillery Tongue and Wreath.

The Washington Artillery was one of the most famous Confederate Artillery units of the Civil War. These tongue and wreath buckles were US issued and the troops ground off the US and stamped them WA from what I have heard only about 35 of these have ever been found. From what I have been told this one should be worth around $6,000 + although I doubt I ever sell it. So regardless I would say my investment in the Racer paid off this weekend alone. Thanks to all.

Awesome Hunts! You two are tearing it up.

Great videos too, I really like the different camera angles showing the hunt and the digging.

Thanks to all ....now if I could just get my wife to go along and carry the camera lol

Thanks Keith Southern
.....your videos are one of the reasons I went with the racer. Good relic machine and awesome at picking coins out of trashy sites. Yes it really didn't hit me until a buddy told me how rare of a find it is. For some reason my first find of anything is always rare. First Confederate button CSA General Staff large CSA in the shield, First I was a manuscript I, First buckle ....well you see it above.

yeah I would make more vids if I had a camera man and a producer/director maybe I can put an ad in the classified's ?

thanks for the vid.
