Howdy all,
This is my first post since arriving in Lincoln County, Georgia. I will be spending the winter down here and hope this is the start of many good finds to come. My brother and I were doin the usual drive around and ask permission in downtown Augusta and scored. We managed to gain permission to hunt the front of the old Widows Home. I never guessed we would get the go ahead but it was worth a try. The place is being renovated for use as a medical clinic. We managed a few hours with only one keeper to show. But since it was something on my checklist for this trip it was worth every second. The bullet was only down about 5 or so inches and made my day to uncover. My brother didn't find anything to write home about and tagged himself as the "Can Slaw King". He is using one of my back up machines and this was his first ever trip out with a detector. He is learning quickly and does well. I would appreciate any help in identifying the bullet. It has a solid base which is a first for me. And instead of the usual 3 rings it only has 2. I took a pic of the sign stating the history of the building to show the dates. For me this was a great time to be able to hunt such a historical land mark. Hope all is well with everyone here on T-Net.

Re: First Georgia Keeper

Nice finds, do you have a pic of the bullet cleaned up? We could probable identify it for you.

They are fun to find.

I don't have any battlefields that would produce Minie Balls in my area so I don't find many. The last one came out of a park in Newark, NJ which I donated to the NJ Historical Society which is based in Newark.

On my way.

Looks like a Sharps carbine to me. Hard to tell without the diameter and length.
Probably .52 or .54 Caliber Union Round... Nice find...
 
nice job on the bullet! I bet it was a rush to get something other then a regular penny or trash come out of the ground! :thumbsup:
 
Nice finds, keep digging close to that location.
 
Wow, that looks like an awesome spot to hunt! Need company? Lol...kidding...sorta... ;D

Everygood hunter has to have a slave to clear the way. Hired help just never works out as good. And the correction should be that I am your younger big brother. Seein as how I am your hero and you look up to me so much. Maybe next time I will let you carry my pouch, and you could be my detecting caddy. ;D
