Nice find.
Here's my story - living in Atlanta for 20 years gave me an appreciation for all things Civil War. The day after purchasing my md I headed to a residential area near the route the North used to march on Atlanta. After 30 minutes my detector started beeping so I started digging. Few minutes later I pulled out a federal belt buckle and a small round ball (grape shot? Miniball??). Since that one find I haven't found anything more than newish nickels, dimes...junk metal. The memory of how it felt after the initial find still motivates me after 15 yrs.
