I went out to my new permission today after work

I just picked this spot up. This is my second time hunting it. It's turning out to be pretty good for Confederate lead.

Great finds. Just when my civil war season is starting I have surgery Thursday. So I will have to get my fill by keeping up with your finds. Keep them coming so they can at least see some finds.

Those are pretty impressive numbers! Enfield and what are the others?

 

[MuddyMo]

I hope everything turns out well for you buddy. I had some health troubles from 2018 to 2022. Both hips replaced & quadruple heart bypass surgery. Oh both hands were done for carpal tunnel & one trigger finger release. Ill do my best to keep the relics coming out for you buddy.

Thanks buddy. Most of the bullets are Confederate Gardners. Most of the three ringers are Confederate also. The spot I'm hunting is Confederate as it gets. I'm really amazed that anything is left but it's loaded.

Thanks buddy. We've just started to hunt it. I've found over 70 artifacts on two hunts so far. It's Gettysburg also. It is loaded.

I did not realize you used a Gpx I have always wanted to try one of those. Do you dig everything with those or can you tell when it is iron?
I had hernia surgery yesterday. The weeds and crops should be gone when I am able to detect again.

Once you get the hang of it bullets are easy. The tough thing for me is eagle buttons, j hooks & .22 cal bullets all read the same my button count has gone down drastically but my bullet count has gone through the roof. I dig the low conductor targets when I'm finding lead. It discriminate pretty well. Bent nail & washers give it fits but it's not bad.
