Wayne; one of my two relic hunting partners from the 80's and 90's called me last week. Wanted to go out for a little while yesterday morning. We hunted the fields in back of a Union fort which was built along the Nansemond River during the siege of Suffolk, Va.. My custom built Double Eagle is not working anymore so I put batteries in my old White 4900 Coin Master which I purchased in the early 1980's and away we went. I was very pleased with how the old White performed. Wayne has a new machine, which I don't know what it is. I'm 73 years old and Wayne has had two strokes so we planed only to hunt a few hours. We did last 2 and half hours with not a whole lot found but it was fun. Wayne got a dropped minie ball and I a full minie size melted lead; one round 57 caliber musket ball and one military button back with shank still attached. Haven't been able to read any back marking on the button as of yet. Was good to get out and we're going to try it again soon. Acey
