amazing find man...love the rev war iron!

Wow what a find. 2-3 pounders, 13- 4 pounders and 1- 6 pounder. A real cross section of American feild artillery of the rev war. Its pretty cool they still have the hemp bag they were lost with fused to the balls.

I thought we were doing good this summer with iron. Awesome find!

I was just getting ready to ask which Fisher I should get for water hunting (only up to my chest) a Fisher 1280 or the CZ 21? Then which coil, the 8 or 10"? I also need a scoop, any ideas? thanks

Hello. Fisher 1280 all the way...8 inch coil and shorten the shaft. Contact Anderson Detector shafts and tell Ryan I sent you. I will never switch to another set up. J
