Found my first Minie Ball Detecting today

[RingMaster44]

Went out detecting at an old house site and found this Civil War bullet. It's my first 3 ringer!

My only regret in 30 years of digging bullets is that I did not label where most of them came from. Mark #1 on it with a fine tip marker and keep a book to pass on to your Grandchildren. I regret not doing that and throwing my bullets in a coffee can. When I'm gone they will only be bullets with no history. Congratulations on finding your first. Where ?What state ? What campaign ?
