civil war

I'm telling you folks, my kids are wild as buck rabbits. We take them detecting with us all the time and by the time we get them home they look like mud people. I made the horrible decision to buy my wife a new car last year. It stays smudged up, tracked up and rusted up from our find pouches...

I found this square metal piece at a park I was checking out for the first time. It's in an area with civil war battle history, so I figured I'd give it a try :icon_thumright: This item was around 8-10" deep on the banks of a small lake. My detector was going crazy on all signals, so I...

My son got a great report card and review from his teacher, so I asked what he wanted to do special for his achievement. His response.... "Let's go detecting Dad!" My kinda kid! So we went to a couple civil war era permissions and had one heck of a day!He was using his Garrett AT Pro, and I had...

Me, my dad and my friend Cain go back to the civil war camp in north Georgia. Me and my dad were using Garrett AT Pros (I was using the NEL Storm Coil) and Cain was using a Minelab. My dad ended up digging some campfire lead and I dug what I thought to be a small iron spur (now I'm not sure what...

I dug this brass object in a Confederate Campsite. It looks poorly made, handmade, hand drilled, and stamped with two crude "7"'s. Any information about this will be helpful. Thanks!

Dug this trigger in Virginia in an area where I dug 3 case-shot balls and a civil war bullet. Can anyone ID it? Trigger is small (clad quarter for size perspective), so definitely small arms. Posted 2 pics, one for each side of the trigger. Not sure, could also be from a toy gun. Not a small...

I found these two relics metal detecting yesterday. The "C" looking piece was found near a known road that civil war troops marched along. Thanks for any help!

The finds in this video come from a variety of locations. One of which happens to be a property that held a skirmish during the civil war. I also took the wife and kids to the creek to do a little sifting for Native American artifacts. For those who do get to watch my videos, I hope you enjoy...

Hello all, Hit the jackpot at a family friend's farm a few miles north of Antietam Battlefield in Maryland. Pulled only a fraction of the bullets that are in the ground out. After plotting all of our finds on a map, it seems like there might have been a little undocumented skirmish. These 50...

Was able to get out yesterday to a permission that I've been to twice, but wasn't really able to hunt it then due to tall grass and stormy weather. Not much on Quantity, but Quality makes up for it! This place was really a shot in the dark! After about an hour of searching, I had a .69...

Before I post the pictures :occasion14: and the video, I wanted to share a little history about the location where I've been finding these Confederate relics. Cassville Georgia is a small town in my home county. During the Civil War it was not only the County Seat but it was one of the largest...

Hi everyone, we are excited to be here. My brother, John, and I (Lisa) are metal detecting at his new home in Massachusetts. The home was built in 1683 and owned by a wealthy business man. The property was used as a tavern/stagecoach stop/boarding house centuries ago with a 60-stall barn...

I dug this two piece button out of a Civil war campsite, and I'm not sure if it is millitary or not. Please anyone let me know! Thanks

Finally got to detect after moving from Alaska and having a baby. I couldn't go out much with the new baby so I detected in my yard. Stir crazy. In 45 mins I had found a civil war bullet!!! And a nudie coin! I don't know much about either item but that's the first worth while thing I've found...

Worked a permission that my dad has worked for several years. His words "probably not much left to be found there but we'll give it a try" LOL. It just goes to show that you can never be positive that every relic has been found.

I hate to do it but I'm selling a lot of Civil War / Virginia Military Uniform Buttons: eBay item number: 182192600510 I'm starting to clean up my collections.

I dug this pin looking relic from a civil war site in North Carolina and I have no idea what it is. Maybe it's civil war? I don't know. Anything helps! Thanks :)

Hey guys I got a box full of old ammo and I dont know much about these. And especially this one. Any ideas would be great!!! Anyone know anything about it ?

I recently found this "plate",Etc.,I do not know what this may have been used for IF it is actually from 1862...The back has a date stamp 1862 and the font is consistent with a date you would see on a rifle,sword and most ordinace related item's. It is made of lead and is very well done.And is...

Hey guys I bought a box full of ammo. I can date most because its mostly casings. But I have never seen these before. They are very crudely made. There a really weird shape too. Thanks, Landon
