Civil War bullet TID help, PLEASE

Can some of you guys let me know what TID #s you are getting on Civil War era bullets. I have gotten solid 35 on .69 cal but I am wondering are some of these bullets coming out of the ground reading all sorts of different numbers?? Thanks
 
Most Civil War bullets I have dug have had target ID's of 34 and 35 with a mid range tone. And these ID's have been consistent in regular soil as well as the highly mineralized soil found in parts of VA
 
Been away from the forum for a while, sorry about the late reply,

I have consistently gotten TID 28 - 36 on CW bullets in all types of soil conditions. The smaller the caliber, the lower the number with the average .577/.58 cal bullet coming in between 32 and 34. The biggest bullet I found was a .69 cal Gardner that weighed more than 750 grains and gave a good 36 TID but a really iffy tone. It was down more than a foot in tough VA mineralized dirt.
