Yes it is cold here in Northern Virginia
Hi All Mt TH'ing Friends
Well we did manage to get out for a bit of TH'ing on January 24th, it was a very cold day to say the least. Overall the finds were slim for three of the four of us. Mark did the best of us all, he got a perfect Union General Services Jacket button, three .58 Cal Three ringer bullets, one .36 Cal round ball, and a beautiful 1733 Spanish Reale. The Reale is now his second in this same general area so we are all waiting for the ground to thaw so we can jump in there will everything we have.
I also broke the weld on my digging shovel so will send it in under the warranty as it cracked on the weld not on the handle or the blade. A good weld should never break on the weld itself.
I did manage a brass rivet and small cuff sized flower button with an iron back. The finds were very slim to say the least, plus we had a few snow showers and did I mention that it was COLD out there?
51 days until Spring? Spring just can not get here soon enough for me!
All the best of luck to you all!
