Headed to wv this weekend to try to find some civil war bullets. My friend and got up this morning and hit a old site of area and after a couple hours I didn't have anything and he only had a Couple musket balls. So we headed to a field next to a civil war skirmish site and I left with only a flat button and friend found nothing. On the way back to his house there is a small field we've wanted to hunt for a while. I pulled up and lucky the owner was there and gave us permission. We walked in the field and there was trash everywhere and large areas covered with a old road. Every signal at first was beer cans so we moved to the top side of the field when I get a good signal and out pops my first three ringer in 2 years. Two feet later another, both shot. My friend walked up 20 ft in front of me hoping to get some bullets but instead I see him doing a crazy happy dance and yelling lol. He runs over and I said what you find and he said I don't know and handed it to me and I about passed out he found my dream find. A gw linked states button in great shape except no shank. Well I am happy for him but know I'm going back tomorrow to find mine. I ended up with seven bullets a 1867 nickel and a 1944 nickel. He got five bullets and a flat button and of course the gw. It's a great trip so far can't wait till tomorrow.
