civil war

I have just completed a book of Civil War letters: So Much Blood the Civil war Letters of William Wallace Beard 1861-1865. Beard was a native of north Mecklenburg County, NC. Moved to Mississippi in the late 1850s. Fought in the Mississippi 18th Co G. One of only a hundred or so who survived...

I just bought a Garrett ATPro and I am having trouble learning to use it. I hunt for Civil War Relics and I get a lot of bell tones when I swing it one way and when I swing it back the other way and I don't get a signal. I usually don't dig the signal. Am I missing some good finds or is it...

I found this brass relic in an Army of the Frontier Camp last month in southern Missouri. The relic is made from Brass and is about 2 1/2" long. I would appreciate any help in identifying it.

I found this old eagle device in a local junk store today. They occasionally get in really old things, so I was hoping this might be Civil War, but it's probably more likely from a more recent military school. It has attachments on the back like a hat or cap ornament, but I'm not really sure...

Hunting on this beautiful tennessee morning and first find is this! 3/4 of an inch ...seems to be a button type object...any ideas?

I know this will be a slow lob up center field for someone on this forum, but I could use a little help with these military items. I believe the two buckles may be English, the lion possibly being naval? The other two, I'm not sure.

I know that a regular civil war knapsack goes for about $100 to $150. But, this knapsack is identified as to be from the 8th New Hampshire volunteers. I was wondering if anyone has any opinions on the value of a identified knapsack in this condition?

This is a drawn photograph of my great x 6 grandfather John Smith Jenkins. He was in the 29th North Carolina Infantry. I was wondering what type of uniform it was? Please let me know, if you recognize it.

I found this today at a Civil war site near my home. It's a revet with some leather still stuck in it. I also found two civil war tent pegs. I will post them as soon as I get them cleaned up.

Hi guys! This is my first post to treasurenet. I absolutely love this site! I have been following the site for many years now. Today, I went to a flea market/fall festival in Central Indiana. While walking around, I saw a small sword that caught my eye. Often time, I will see swords and they...

I was talking with a friend who owns multiple properties (hunting land, etc.). When he found out I like to metal detect he got excited and told me that one of his properties is behind an old courthouse and was the site of a civil war camp here in SC. He also said there is a well on the...

Found this today at a park. where there was civil war movement.

Ok guy's I found this at a civil war site in WV. I found it by a creek that was part of a civil war camp ground, but I don't no what it is. It looks like it had a sharp edge at one time. Hope you guy's can help?

I'm looking for some people to help dig this Civil War site that's never been detected. It's right down the road from me. Skirmish at Hurricane Bridge

Looking for someone to go metal detecting with around Putnam county. I know of a few good places to go.

Anyone know what this is or could have been used for? This item came into a family member's possession after the passing of a friend who was an avid civil war relic collector. We have been baffled by what this could have been used for and would appreciate any information. The stake portion is...

This button was found at a local park in central Indiana. The park was established on the site of an old farm which I believe was built at the beginning of the 1900's. I was detecting over where I believe the old home once stood. I did not find any coins to date the area, only some old rusted...

Hello anyone. I live in carterect county. I am searching for another person to hunt with. I ve done my research and know of a few places with some potential.:treasurechest:

I picked up a set of Civil War artifacts at a garage sale and these boots were a part of it. I couldn't seem to find any information online about them so I thought I would try here. They seem to be made of ceramic or clay. They have no visible identifying markings on them.

I moved here from GA a few years ago, i found many many civil war relics in construction sites at Kennesaw Mtn, Shame how much they destroyed but for small windows of time i found great finds. I also love coin shooting, currently i have a garret ace 250, i did have a white mxt but had to sell...
