Civil War Artillery Camp

I haven't been out for a few weeks while recovering from a foot injury, so it was great to get out and dig a few relics yesterday. I went back to the Confederate site that last month gave up an A button and some friction primers. I thought I would stay just a few hours to test out my foot but ended up putting in about nine hours.....it's hard to leave when you're finding CW items.

I found several whole and broken friction primers, 3 bullets, and 11 grape/canister shot.

You did very well. Those friction primers are getting very hard to get.

Worth every minute! I've never found a friction primer. I think our ground eats them up. Nice job!

Congrats on the nice finds. That’s a nice group pic of all the primers. Well done.

In the three years I've been metal detecting I've only found 3 friction primers so you had a stellar day IMO. Thanks for posting.
