Hi all, Took the day off to detect some property I recently received permission for. This is the perfect weather for our hobby. So glad the heat is gone! :'( The area is right in the middle of the battle of Williamsburg. The area is super trashy so I thought it may take some time to hit the good things. As luck would have it I worked a small area and boom the relics started popping out. It's been a while since I have found such a concentration of relics. The best of the day is a Eagle button. Also loads of shrapnel and Minni's. I hope this just the beginning of things to come. Thanks for looking and I will keep you posted. Life is good......... ;D

Thanks Civilman1,

It was alot of digging. The one piece in the middle is from a 10lb Parrot shell. Its really large (over a lb) and should make for a nice display piece. Im hoping for the whole pieces soon. keep you posted.

Excellent CW finds............

I cant be certain with all the dirt but it looks like some of your bullets may be CS 58 cal Gardeners.

Cool indeed! There is a question lurking in the back of my mind for anyone that has MD'd civil war sites. What would you do if you came across the remains of a soldier? Or have you ever encountered such a find?
