Sorry about listing this in the rong forum guys. I did not realize that their was a civil war forum. Me and my dad went to a new spot after doing some research and getting permission. after about 30 minutes I found my first artillery shell the pic is it after being disarmed and cleaned. I also found this nice US button. It and many other civil war relics can be seen being dug on YouTube at. LAdigger81 check it out.

Very awesome! Was the shell a dirt or water find? Did you have to use electrolysis on it or just elbow grease?

 

[LAdigger81]

I found it in a field and used electrolysis and a wire brush. When I dug it out of the ground I did not thank it would clean up that good but I am very happy with the way it turned out. I could not have done it with out the help of cajuncoinhunter. Thanks!! LAD81. HH!!
