Hello all, just wanted to say you guys have an awesome forum, very informative to people like me that haven't been detecting very long. I have been checking in for a couple of years now, and finally decided to join.
I live in south central Pennsylvania, about 8 miles from the MD state line. I mostly try to find colonial places, but in my travels I have found some civil war relics, mostly by accident, as only one item was found in a spot that we knew could have civil war history.
I have only really been detecting since January of this year, a friend from work took me under his wing and is teaching me alot. I purchased a Equinox 600, and a couple of different coils and they seem to be working well for me. Here are some of my civil war finds. I know what everything is except the stars and stripes shield pin, not even sure if it is civil war Era, it was found 10 feet from the artillery button.
