I was finding nothing but Aluminum pieces all night in my yard. I pounded that yard in and around where I found that bayonet scabbard tip this morning, until there was nothing but plugs left. Bored with Aluminum, I knelt down, and said, "Lord, please let me find a Civil War bullet tonight. Amen.". THE VERY NEXT SIGNAL was this bullet! I found it exactly three feet from the sidewalk, about 25 feet from the front door!

I almost passed out when this rolled out of the hole! I took a picture as it was, after I ran inside to grab my camera.

My detectors headphones weren't (and still aren't) working, so I had to use it without them.

So now today's finds include a bayonet scabbard finale, and a bullet!

You had a Blessed hunt today, Rusty! Congratulations! I can't wait to see what else you find in your yard! Your excitement is refreshing. Let your light shine!
 

Nicely done, young man!

You'll get more, but that first Civil War projectile will be a memory you will carry forever...
 

You're doing great! Keep it up...
 

Good job son. Keep it up and when you are 67 like me you will have a closet full of good stuff!
 

Damn 16 year olds finding all the good crap in their own yards...lol :thumbsup:

I have a feeling you’re going to be a treasurenet member for along time. I noticed you’re a bronze member already. Good for you. You saved a couple of beautiful pieces of history right there. Start building a large display case for your finds I think you will fill one in no time. Congrats and good luck in all your future hunts.
 

nice finds RR!
 

Ask and you shall receive ! Well, you know within reason and all. Great find and keep up the good work.
 

Nice finds! I love digging things right out of the yard... Also, I'm about your age, I sent you a friend request as I like to try and keep in touch with other treasure hunters my age, especially here on TNet!

Very nice for sure. Asking for help from above always helps. I asked for a ring yesterday, and first target out was a sterling ring!
