Another day at the Antietam Field's....and a first(x2)

I wasn't even going to go out today,It's been a pretty hectic week with my Dad still hospitalized.He's doing better after the surgery though.Some of plowed field's I hit last week were already planted so I figured they all were.That wasn't the case....I was about to call it a day and noticed the front field was still being worked.Stopped in for the last hour of the day and pulled not one but two "pulled" minie's, a .58 and a .54.I found an Enfield,a .52 Sharp's,a dropped .58,a .31 pistol bullet,a .69 roundball,8 "buck's",a percussion cap and a flat button(14.8mm) with the backmark "london treble gilt".All in all a pretty good day considering 3/4's of the plowed field's were put to bed until next spring.Thank's for looking and HH!!

Some Great Lead there Sir. The flat button are always rewarding too I think. WTG

All I can say is Wow!!! I sure would love to have a place like that to hunt. I love relic hunting, looks like you got a really nice site.

Thanks for posting those great pictures.

Hope your dad is doing much better.

HH, Ringfinder

P.S. If you need a hunting partner, I'd be glad to drive over and help you out. LOL

Wishing you and your family the best. It amazes me how you know the difference between one bullet and another. Totally cool finds!

Great job Civil. That looks like a great place to hunt. Looks like you'll have to get creative to find more spots to detect with all the fields being planted and all. I have yet to find a recognizable CW bullet. I've found some large fired lead with the white patina but nothing I could positively say was from the CW. My day's coming I can feel it.

That first photo could be a poster or a jigsaw puzzle.
You got the eye for both the treasure and the sights.
