So, Ive hunted alot now that I am in Va, as well as while fixing a door to the dirt basement came across a circle dent in my outer wall- there was a battle nearby within a few miles of my home. The age of my home I am unsure as its got many add ons to it, but it does look like it got hit by a...
I found these live .50 Caliber Browning Machine gun rounds in the Arizona desert at the end of last season.
I had found several casings before but these were the first live rounds I had detected. General Patton trained his troops all over the Western deserts of Arizona and Eastern California and...
A few bullets (I think) around NW GA old farm land. They look similar to Civil War era rounds but most of the pictures I?ve seen have more pronounced ridges around them... Any idea what period these bullets are from (if they are bullets?) One looks impacted like it was fired. Fairly heavy and...
Headed back to the cellar hole today, the house was used during the civil war as a headquarters/ fort. I’ve pulled bullets, eagle buttons, and other items from here. The signals are becoming few and far between. Very hard to find anything worth digging so I’ve started digging every tone no...

Ok posted this in a few places no answers yet.
The base is fixed the stem inside is round. Also no hole on the bottom.
Plug on right is metal was on top. Bottom appears to be sink. Top part over grove is cardboard or soft lead.
I had the pleasure of detecting a property situated on the frontlines of the civil war battlefield today. I found some interesting buckles and Id love to know more about them. If you have any information on what they went to, let me know. Ex. Belt, gun sling, bags, etc! I want to find the exact...
Here is some miscellaneous lead I’ve dug on the battlefield. A lot of them look like lead artillery sabbot fragments. But my strangest find is this lead tube. I joked with my girlfriend that a soldier carried it on a rope. But in all honesty I’m not sure what it is. I’d love to have this mystery...
Not a bad short hunt, proving there's always finds left doesn't matter how many times you hit as place... Third hunt with the equinox 800
After retiring the at pro... Great machine!!!
Any opinions on the buttons age would be great, found in the civil war area?
Battlefield Archeology - Pea Ridge, AR
Ok guys, sorry I've been so slow in getting to posting this.
As I told you guys a couple of months ago I was contacted by the National Parks Service and asked to help them and the Arkansas Archeological Survey recover some artifacts on the Pea Ridge...
I haven't had much luck finding new places to hunt lately and hadn't even bothered putting much effort into hunting lately since most of my places have dried up. And to be quite honest I was a little burnt out because of it, but today my wife told me I needed to go because she could tell I was...
I recently found a new Camp in Southwest Missouri. So far we have found 11 .69 caliber Minies and 8 flat/coin Buttons. the picture is only what I have found The weeds are as tall as I am so we are waiting for the Property owner to burn them.
I went to a public beach near a Coast Guard station 10 minutes down the road to metal detect there with my Garrett Ace 250 again...
I found 7 different lead fishing weights/sinkers, a modern quarter and a 1959 memorial penny, some trash, and the stuff pictured below
My dad believes these are...
I was walking through some Native American land on the coast of central California. I typically find arrowheads and other small native treasures. Today I found these bullets. They are very heavy for their size. I'm not sure if they were Native American era or if they came after. Could they have...
I would like someone to help me identify these bullets/ maybe the smaller pellet either by positively identifying them or guiding me to a source where I could possibly research them myself. I am a beginner when it comes to identifying artifacts that I find from metal detecting that do not have...
Today was the best day EVER!!! Not only did I sell my Saloon Token for over $480, I finally found my first skirmish site that still had a few goodies left. I found more Civil War bullets today than I had in my entire collection. Somebody pinch me.
Been having unusually warm weather over the weekend in NJ so I decided to throw on the waders and see what this old stream near me had to offer. I don't normally have luck in streams due to the thick silt that tends to build up but this one had large boulders in it which proved to be way more...
