  2. Cool Arizona Desert Find!

    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...
  3. Civil War Bullets?

    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...
  4. First flat button & other relics!

    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...

  8. CIVIL WAR LEAD TUBE?

    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...

  14. The wife made me go.

    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...

  17. Found old bullets can anyone identify?

    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.

  18. ✅ SOLVED Can you identify these bullets/ bullet & pellet?

    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.

  20. NJ stream gives up A TON of bullets and two strange mystery objects!!

    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...
