WINNER #1
Congratulations to our US Favorite Finds winner, Brodyn J. from Vermont!

Over the years, Brodyn searched a permission to an 1800s farm field. On a recent trip, he shares, "I got a signal that sounded different; it was a 65-77 signal on the AT Pro so I decided to dig it. After digging down right around 5 inches, I flipped out a little silver star. When I got home I gently cleaned it up and I found out it was made from a silver quarter from 1856! Along with that, I was also able to see what it said, I read, 'Geo Whitcher 2nd VT Bat'."

With this information, I found out that George Whitcher joined the Vermont 2nd Battalion in August of 1864 as an infantryman. Later in March of 1865, he made a transfer to heavy artillery, which explains the artillery buttons my dad and I found 3 and a half years earlier! A little over a month later, his old battalion was present at Gen. Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse. I am honored to have been the finder of this incredible piece of history."
