bullet

Alrighty... the site I was hunting used to be a vineyard. Showed up on a map from the 1870s but not on any other maps (the map from before this one was 1850s and next one was early 1900s). There is a house in the area built in 1920 where I have found coins ranging from 1882 to modern clad. I was...

I was metal detecting on an old property, multiple silver coins came out of it and a 1847 large cent and I found this piece of lead. Ive never found a civil war bullet and would like to know if this is possibly my first. It seems like the right shape, size, and weight, but it looks like somebody...

Hello everyone - we are new to this site (this is our first post). My 23 year old daughter (the one actually typing this out) and I got really into metal detecting about a year and half ago and now we finally feel like we can make a post on here! It all started from a surprise Christmas gift...

I bought this artillery ? at a yard sale. It weighs 15 pounds, it is 12 inches tall, 3 1/2" diameter at the bottom , threaded inside. It's made of solid cast iron, I think. I've attached pics. Questions: What is it? Is it safe and not live? Many thanks ***Used calliper for precise...

Some ammo from WW2, .50 cal shells. 2 from st louis stamped in 43 and 1 stamped CL also from 43. 5.56 round same origin and year. Lucky enough to find the slug from one of the .50's a incendiary round. And to top it off a strip clip

Had a gorgeous day to hunt here in central VA. I was only able to turn up one lone bullet, a .54 cal Burnside, along with a ton of ferrous material (need I.D. on some, check 'What Is It' if you're interested). All-in-all still a great day to be in the field.

Went to the train tracks today. Found a little grove of trees by an older house. Fist beep was super loud... up came this neat old wheel! Is it an old pram wheel? How old do ya think it is? There was tons of chunks of iron everywhere so I quit. But next year I'll go back with a good detector and...

Hello. I would just like clarification on this bullet. I'm pretty sure its modern , but it has such a old patena I thought i'd see what the community says.

Please help to identify this bullet. It’s Lead. It has 4 rings. Pictures to follow

I have my Equinox 800 so one assigned tone break is 16-19 for civil war bullets. but a large old style pull tab rings up a solid 16. so is there any other way to overcome this problem or do I just have to dig all 16 TID's. john

Found it detecting the shore of Maine

The intact bullet I dug in Lovejoy, Ga. where 2 or 3 CW engagements took place in 1864. I'm pretty sure it's an Enfield, but is there a method to determine Confederate or Union? SIZE ..... length .955 ...... diameter .575 +- .003. don't know the weight The flattened lead I found in...

Need help to identify the bullet dug in Lovejoy, Ga. 4-5" deep. Size ..... Length .955 +- .003 - Diameter .577. Don't know weight. Photo of Flattened lead found this past weekend in Stockbridge, Ga. Just by feel, it's weight is of the Enfield bullet. Opinions ?? Thanks y'all ...

This was an incredible hunt with some incredible people. Met up with my buddy Chris (aka birddogg on Youtube) and my buddy Exploring Alabama. Chris had a spot he wanted to comb through with a group so he invited us to come dig. There weren't a great number of relics found but the relics that...

My 12 yr old has taken up metal detecting lately and we found this bullet about 6-9" buried off an old Alaskan trail northwest of Palmer before Hatcher's Pass. It appears to be around a 44 or 45 maybe and 400 grain. He thinks it should go on eBay and is the find of the century :-) Anyone able to...

So, Iv'e dug many bullet casings while metal detecting most of them are post 1950's and I know that they are just worth the scrap value. But Iv'e also dug many bullet casings from early 1900's to 1950's and I wonder if they have some monitary value. Iv'e dug many readable dates casings from...

So today I went to an location that I'm on very often. Iv'e found coins from mid 1700's to early 2000's there. I'm trying to get proof that some people lived there back in the day while the people living there says the houses are from 1930's and all the people from the 1700 & 1800's was just...

Yesterday was one of the wetest days I've ever spent out digging, but it was totally worth it. I revisited the place where I found my saloon token and found some more cool stuff. First was this panama Canal watch fob that I believe dates back to 1913, then there's a Bull Durham Tobacco charm...

Hi, I think it's a bullet but I'm not sure. It did have a burn mark! Can any one enlightening me? Thank you.

Looks like stamped with broad arrow over 8 ? 4 rings wood plug in nose. Found in Nova Scotia.
