Ace 250 finds Civil war bullets and heel plate

[zaxfire69]

Well i have an odd story for some awesome civil war finds today. I went to my local park that has been around since the 1800's. Not thinking about finding civil war relics. Just wanted to find some old coins maybe. Me and the Ace 250 headed out. Looked around and found a clump of old tall oak trees. They looked old. So off I headed. Got to the trees and put coil to ground. Walking in a straight line got a strong penny signal. Dug and out pops a 3 ringer.. I looked puzzled. 3 ringers in my park..Well kept walking straight line. Another penny signal. Same thing 3 ringer. HUMN. Walked some more bing 10 cents to penny signal. Dug and out popped this heel plate or at least that is what I am calling it. Looks like one. Kept the straight line walking an dug more 3 ringers. So I think I have a little Civil war action in my park. Gonna frequent my spot and see what else I can unearth. Also dug clad and such didn't post that about 5 bucks worth. Awesome day if you ask me. Hope yall like the pictures.

Very nice finds, how deep were they?

I don't want you to reveal your park, but what state and or area are you in?

Awesome day indeed! Congrats on the great finds! Yeah, some of my best finds have been quite "by accident" when I was looking for something else, like coins, etc. Too cool, man! Yeah, I'd definitely be hittin' that spot hard. It would be my little secret.

I am in Mississippi. The finds were at about 4-5 inches deep. Took me by surprise for sure. I am really proud to find this stuff especially the heel plate. It has a real nice green patina. Looks nice.

Now you need to do other "detecting" like what went on there at that site.

Check your historical society or do some online research and add a little history to your finds.

Who knows maybe you have found an unknown/undocumented site!

Great finds
