The winner of this contest will receive the Star Base Washington Arsenal bullet that's pictured. The rules are whoever guesses correctly and first will be the winner. You must be a resident of the United States to win and I will ship within a week. Contest ends with the first person to get the correct answer.

Good luck everyone! :hello:

The question is.........


Who is credited to be the first person to use an electronic metal detector to find Civil War relics?
