    Franklin Relic Show

    Just attended the FRS and it is beginning to suck. Most of the artillery relics were of low quality and a significant number of WW1, WW2 and later "relics" (uniforms and non-dug items) have begun to show up!! This stinks. Many antique gun shows limit the age of what can be displayed. Why can't...

    Need help setting up MXT to find artillery fragments

    I could really use some assistance in setting up my MXT to hunt for only artillery fragments. Can any one help who has done this? I would prefer not to use standard relic searches. I can do that. Thanks Nemo

    Home on the Range

    Found these at an artillery practice range. Eight of case-shot were strung out in an elliptical pattern about 15 feet long and about 8 feet wide. The ellipse pointed to the direction of fire and the fuse (Bormann) was found at the end of the ellipse away from the firing. This is just as it...

    No Blood splatters on Bullet

    About a year ago, I posted on this Forum an unusual request for bullets that were thought to contain blood on them. I had seen CW blood splatters found in an attic in Gettysburg using CSI blood detection spray. I wondered if one could find blood on bullets. Only one brave soul, KSDIGGER...

    Unusual Find at a Cavalry Site

    My partner and I hunted a Cavalry site a few weeks back and we recently returned. I found an unusual key made from a spoon. In looking more closely I realized the spoon was engraved with 2 letters "A" and "P" written in Spencerian script. There is no way to tell if the spoon comes from the Civil...

    New Article at my website

    Ever been tempted to buy that thing you think is a cannonball at a garage sale or even a relic show? Pete George and I have put together an article on how to tell authentic from non-authentic solid shot. Pete was gracious enough to fill the article with his artillery expertise. I learned enough...

    Dark Brown stuff attached to surface of bullets

    Yesterday partner and I hunted a rifle practice range overgrown with cedar trees. Dropped bullets from this area (apparently were wet and were cast to the ground). I'm told that when this site was first found there were circles of dropped bullets all over the place. Now the bullets have to be...

    Fine Day- Drive right on top of it

    70 degrees in January in Missouri? Wow, what a great day to be out. My partner and I had access to about 300 acres, most of which you you can drive to or on campsites. The area has been largely hunted out but contained several cavalry campsites during the war. This becomes a game of where do...
