This month, I have decided to award a second AT Gold to Rob P. from Georgia for his CSA buckle find. Rob submitted his entry weeks ago, but a group of three entries from this past month made it to my hands after the fact. As soon as I read his story and looked at his images, I was more than impressed. So, congrats, Rob, on being my second winner this month! Rob stated: “Saturday, February 22, 2014, me and a detecting buddy were hunting a house built in the 1800s. We were in a small town northeast of Atlanta, Georgia. I always use my AT Pro in the Pro Mode with little or none iron discrimination. We had only been hunting about an hour when I got a very slight high tone (78 to 82 on the display) mixed with iron. I dug the hole and first retrieved a piece of scrap iron. I rescanned the hole again with my Pro-Pointer and still got a signal. When I retrieved it, I could not believe what I was looking at: a beautiful C.S.A. belt buckle!” “I immediately shouted out to my buddy to come see what I had found. Needless to say he was very excited as well! In short, it was indeed the ‘find of a lifetime’. I am a member of Stone Mountain Treasure Hunters and we had our monthly meeting last night. We have a number of members who strictly hunt for relics and one of them told me that my find was “the holy grail” of Civil War relics.” Superb find, Rob! Your rare find of this Confederate relic is one that will probably be the envy of many. Rob P. WINS a Garrett AT Gold! Vaughan Garrett
