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. All cleaned and preserved.

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
