Relic Hunting
Wrapped up a few days of relic hunting in the Low Country of SC with Calabash Digger. We found a SC Confederate Camp and the buttons started flowing with coins and other relics. Some of these finds were our first too. Please check out my channel subscribe and give it a like. Will try to get some more content up on you tube after our hunt tomorrow.

Nice post and video. What was the deal with the bullet mold. I looked for it in the video. Might have missed it. Does it have writing inside the handle? The soil is good to you there.

Sadly I didn’t video it cause honestly when I dug it neither I or Calabash knew what it was. I thought it was wire cutters. When I got home I got to thinking about it again so I got it back out and cleaned the crud off of it. I opened it up and that’s when I realized what it was. It had an iron pin in it that had corroded pretty bad where the writing would have been. I still love it and it displays really well !
 

Wow a bunch of great finds and that bullet mold! That would be amazing to find of those... and it seems when people do they rarely find both parts!
