Saturday's awesome Civil War hunt. Video included.

Team Horbush returned to our Artillery Hill site for a great day of hunting. This site is extremely hot ground which require pulse machines to have any success here. Frank was using a GPX, Bob was using a TDI and Sham and I were using the Garrett ATX. After a day of using the ATX I really fell in love with it. Not only is it waterproof but bullets and brass give the same high low tone. I only had to listen for one tone and I dug very little trash. Everyone found some nice relics. We found bullets, buttons, J-hooks, shell frags, brass shells and much more. I also included the picture of the two Eagle coat buttons that I found. They are two different eagle designs. One has a back mark and the other has no back mark. I hope that you enjoy the video.

Great set of finds you have there. I'd be spending every free minute I could get on that area.

The penny turned out to be an 1800's Indian Head. Don't know exact year yet.

I already saw Bob's video on You Tube. Buttons looked solid. Very nice hunt Randy. HH, Q.

Thanks Quindy. The brass come out of this ground with a nice green patina. A lot of the buttons we find are Eagle "I" but these were just plain GS buttons.
