    Just wondering why

    Absolutely, though I was referring to those fired are still lying in the soil on the Battlefield out of detectors accessibility. Sounds like you'd be that guy that prefers the "dropped" bullet that Dr998king spoke of ;)

    Just wondering why

    All in the eye of the beholder. I've dug many fired bullets that have context by the recovery location in historic battles, but without a doubt the best bullet I've dug was dropped. I dug a perfect dropped Whitworth bullet which were used by Confederate snipers in the vicinity of Laurel Hill in...

    Gpx wireless headphones?

    I use a GPX for relics and recommend the Garretts Z_Link, the low 8 ohms marry up well with PI, also the quality and durability of Garrett's headphones are hard to beat, they just don't break.

    Flat button enigma?

    I have dug many with zero corrosion, but tombacs do corrode, here's a couple examples. Kind of hard from internet pics to tell if thats corrosion wrap around or if some of the silver wash has worn off.

    Flat button enigma?

    Colonial tombac button, a brass alloy made of copper, zinc, tin or lead, they resist corrosion. That's a nice one you found, they're often broken.

    A little unusual post…

    "and I saw it's face :ROFLMAO:" Reminds me of a time I came in from an evening deer hunt at my buddies and see that they're home from work with the wood stove burning in the hunt shack so I joined them. They had come down to the shack to put an owl they had just hit in the freezer, believing...

    Musket ball making in the field.

    Agree, we have gotten into the same kind of patches pertaining to the American Civil War.

    Are you using tekkna program?

    Horrible in the iron of a Civil War camp, main reason was too much loss of depth, and I did a lil tweaking. The ORX still shined in this stretch of the camp. Guess its works for shallow targets.

    Classifieds

    I use these on my XLT and GPX, very pleased with sound and comfort, and for $25, why buy used.. The jack is also ergonomic with the XLT. My review, Garretts headphones are built for durability that last...

    where to send my wsa orx headphones for repair

    Easy DIY, mine came with an extra set in that little headphone box when purchased, but you can buy them and easily replace them yourself. https://bigboyshobbies.net/xp-ws4-headset-replacement-earcup-pad-set

    Time to get the lead out

    I'll add... these smooth flat cavity rims are not Civil War period. The cavity type itself can also be a source for dating if they are period or not.

    Time to get the lead out

    Look like more modern black powder bullets similar to these in the pics, notice the flat noses. Someone could of been practicing 20-30 years ago, as their light patina shows.

    Time to get the lead out

    Lots of lead but unfortunately not Civil War.

    MS2 era pad replacements

    A set of new MS-2's cost $25, just get new and keep the old for backup, though not likely needed because the quality and durability of these headphones that the ear muffs wear out before the wiring/plug, love mine.

    Googled this up...scroll down to shifty-eyed-potatoe's post.

    1862 Civil War Department special agent badge

    Like Chuck said, it has a more modern construction than CW, War Dept was around until the mid 1900's. Silver is nice.

    1862 Civil War Department special agent badge

    Fantasy piece, definitely not of CW period construction.

    Question about this button I found.

    Who needs coins with those kind of buttons coming out the ground. I'll trade you a great coin site for a run at that button site. (y)
