3-25-11 My own cousin, Bob Thomas, down near Little Rock, Arkansas,
began detecting Civil War Relics less than a year ago. Recently he's had a
run of good luck, sending me photos every other day last week. Finally, a
day or two ago, was the most disgusting one, a 51 bullet day !! I was
quick to remind him that the family that "digs together" sticks together.
Congratulations Bob ! [ PS. I'll be down soon ! ]

3-25-11 Mark Daughtrey, of Springfield, Missouri, sent me quite a
few photos of some of his better finds, late last year, and early this
year. I am just now getting around to posting them, and I hope Mark
hasn't given up on me. He's been fortunate in his digging, and finding
some nice items. Yes, I'm your man if you need someone to share
the exhorbitant price of gas to your next destination !!
Congratulations Mark !

| 3-25-11 Larry Horton of Bentonville, Arkansas, located a small camp
recently, that may have never seen a detector ! Larry's recovered
quite a few 3-ring .69 bullets, eagle buttons, and a good variety of
artifacts. Of course, being a good old boy, he has promised to take
me with him one of these times, as soon as he gets all those funny,
ringed white rocks out of the way !! . . lol . . Congratulations Larry !
