    Thank you very much!

    Thank you! I am definitely looking forward to the next time our club is granted permission to be there.

    Are you referring to the mushroomed one with the copper jacket or the more conical all-lead one next to that one?

    Mining for lead

    Thanks! Not having found one before I don’t have any experience with the patina. Based on property ownership, I don’t think any re-enactments could have been held here for at least the last 100 years. I might have to swing by a local gun shop and see what they have to say.

    Mining for lead

    This is very close to a known large Union camp. Other members of my club were noting these are not powdery white like finds in some other states. It might have something to do with our local Ohio soil, which is generally rather mild. Based on the location, these would not have originated from...

    After that much digging, I wish it still had the ointment!

    That sounds nice! The only potential civil war button I have found was the back of a two-piece button with no marks.

    Mining for lead

    These are finds from two days of hunting at the same site. I had never found a Civil War bullet and always wanted to. I thought perhaps I might someday find one or two, but I never imagined I would find this many. With all the iron grunts, I was using the Tekkna program with the 11x13 on my...

    Hi. Does anyone know what this is?

    I would definitely subject the clear portion to a scratch test with a knife blade. If it can be scratched with a pocket knife blade it is not quartz. It just looks a little too rounded to be quartz to me. (If the quartz is that rounded, then any softer host rock should’ve been worn away.) If...

    My best coin ever!

    Keep at it, you’ll find one (or two, or three…). I look forward to seeing you post something when you do!

    My best coin ever!

    Yep! I don’t think I am going to be forgetting that day anytime soon.

    My best coin ever!

    I don’t know where to look on it to find the date. I don’t see any obvious indications around the dirt and corrosion. A couple users on another forum also think the large piece is part of a bell. Knowing where I found it, that is extremely likely. I am planning on running it by my site...

    My best coin ever!

    I’m trying to figure out where to start digging through the caked on dirt and corrosion. You wouldn’t happen to know where to look for the number?

    My best coin ever!

    Thanks! It is going in its own little case. Hopefully we can both find another sooner than five years!
