When to a civil war camp in my area that I was told not to bother to go to because it was hunted out. WRONG. Place is full of targets, a lot of trash but I know there's more in there. I was only there about 5 minutes and pulled out this minnie-ball. It's the first item I've dug up here that I can directly relate to the Civil War. If anyone can tell me the caliber or any info on it, that would be great. The same guy who told me not to metal detect there also told me not to detect another spot in the area. I went over there and pulled out a few buttons and a 1777 half reale. It's beat, but I'ts mine and I love it. Also got a two cent pocket spill but I can't seem to find the other.It was right next tot he hop along cassidy gun which is apparently quite rare. 83' shield nickel, couple buffalo nickels and a few wheaties. Got some what is its in there. Been a good couple of days after driving three hours to get skunked this past weekend. There's a locket in there, not sure on the date, but you can't tell from the pics, there is human hair in there.

I'm not sure. Don't have a great view, but I think the piece that's two over from the jaw harp is a lead wheel weight for auto tire balancing.

Looks like a spectacular day!

Nice finds for sure !
I do not think I have ever found a ( Hunted out Spot ) . And now that detectors are getting better every year the places that we have gone over before are almost like a new site .
I can go back to an area that I have hunted many times before and always find new items in the ground .
Besides I go just as much for the fun of detecting as to find something , and yes finding things makes it more fun but I just like to look and see what come up .
Thanks for the photos of your finds , I do like to see what others have found .
