Plenty of targets only a few from Civil War......

[Phishfarmer]

Took a friend hunting with me recently; he bought a detector and went with me today. Found a suspender clip, some buttons probably not period, one flat button, a couple Sharps bullets, some camp lead, and an exploded fuse adapter-mostly intact.

My friend found a few bullets on his detector's maiden voyage too. A good time was had by all.

Looks like:



Cleaned up a bit:


Fuse


Bullets... one melted

Finding old stuff is cool. Taking a friend out with a new machine ROCKS! I take it they are new to the sport? Have a blast and well done mate.

Very nice finds. A shell fuse is always a special recovery. Hope the weather is cooperating.
