Confederate bullets and more!

HomeGuardDan and I got out for a fun digging trip this past weekend and I manage to find a few things. One thing I did find that I forgot to get a picture of was a giant 150# plus bar of iron. It about killed me digging it out of the mud and I thought I may have destroyed my back. But surprisingly, my back feels better than it has in years since then.



Here's a close up of the CW breastplate I dug last week. After I cleaned off the carbonate deposits, it too has a purplish color much like my first U.S. plate of the year. Not many of mine have ended up that color.



Here's the back since some folk seem to think I'm digging up modern reenactors stuff...

Thanks.. you can't go wrong with the AT's relic or coin hunting in the water. Nothing yet compares...

I cant believe anyone would try and dispute some of your finds as not being authentic period. Those doubters need to look at some of those artillery shells you've been pulling out. You're the real deal, and i enjoy seeing your great finds
