I was very surprised while hunting a civil war camp site to find my best silver ever a 1848 half dollar. I also got a couple nice .58 2-ring German Suhl's. Also a nice candle holder and a few .69 round balls and several buck and balls. I have to hunt this one solo the land owner will only let me hunt. I tried to get the trio on but maybe later he will say yes. With my work schedule time is limited I try to sleep but Doug and Quindy are killing me digging all those bullets!!! The morning I dug the big silver I was headed to bed and Quindy calls telling me he had been scouting a spot and had 70 relics!!! I couldn't sleep after that... So soon after I called him with the news of my 1848 silver. Lol Merry Christmas too all and Happy New Years. Josh

Gorgeous coin.
 

What a great group of relics! That Seated Half is beautiful! What a thrill to find anything that was dropped by a soldier from the Civil War but a coin or a carved bullet is much more personal. Good luck to you on your next hunts.
 

what kind of detector ? Awesome finds !
 

Nice big silver...a definite treat!!
 

Couple more cleaned up pics. Thanks for all the comments. Wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Josh
