[johnreb1980]

Done a little digging by myself today out in Resaca. I thought it was going to be one of those go home empty handed kind of days until I got a good deep signal. Just shy of 2 feet this baby poped out of the ground. Man this really made my day, time for another one now. Jonathon

Heck ya! I would love to have one of those in the collection. You southerners get to dig all the cool civil war stuff.
Please be careful with that thing.

Congrats on that cannon ball! Your persistence paid off. Digging that deep on a piece of iron is a gamble and you won. What a great piece of history.

WOW! What a terrific find, JohnReb! I am super excited when I find the occasional CW bullet or button. I can't imagine how I would react to a find like that.

[IronSpike]

That's a banner ball in my

It does pay to dig those iron targets, but you already knew that

Awesome find

 

[DrGrip]

Great find! I love to dig iron relics, but I'm not sure I would have had the persistence to continue down 2 feet, great job!

Now, I'm going to show my stupidity, how does one go about disarming one of those critters?
