So we hunted yesterday and today and here's my finds, my cousin has the same amount if not more! CANNONBALLGUY confirmed my fragment to be a confederate 12 pounder! So that's awesome!! Check out all the minis and muskets, buttons including the steel gilded button, and the stirrup and back piece to a spur!!! I love this site!!

It's not as easy as it sounds chucks its taken me 9 years to find a site like this, it's my best site to date and I hunt every single day of the week! I gotta say though it's nice to be in a state with the potential to have civil war relics!! Thanks for looking everyone

Hi! No, I've been a bit too lazy to put down my trusty SE Pro as it's still finding the good stuff--I was impressed seeing a CTX in action yesterday though....if it only had an X-1 type probe on it ;) I gotta find some time to take the CTX out. We should talk soon--I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Deus...

I want to congratulate you on all the work you did to finally find this site. Keep your mouth shut! Don't share with the neighbors, or anyone else, any information about this place. I wouldn't even show the relics for quite a while. I have even heard of people knowing someone had found a nice place and would follow them to see where they were going to detect.

My best to you and may you have great success. Thats a pretty good showing, I must say, right off the bat. I hope to be swinging my Fisher 1266X at one of Wheeler's battle sites very soon. Way past time to get out there. Nothing like detecting a War Between the States site.
