Got back out tonight for a little while. Place has a 1920's bottle dump so dug it a while and got a nice coffin style flask some corkers and probably a period harmonica and then broke out the metal detector. Found the two dropped round balls in the same hole (buck and ball?). Fired and splattered enfield and a fired 3 ringer. Also dug one canister shot and a small knapp sack rivet with the leather still in the middle.
Thanks for looking.

Thank Kuger
I have probably dug close to a 100 bullets and shot off this battle but that rivet is the first relic not related to the barrel of a gun ???. Crazy. I would find more if I could hunt the Union side.
 
Nice score on the bottles! :thumbsup:
 
Looks like good stuff to me. If you are on the confederate side of the battle, then the canister shot must be a damn yankee.
 
Great job for a short hunt!
 
Nice hunt! I would love to see those bottles lined out when you get them cleaned up a bit.
 
Nice backdrop on the Clean picture.
 
You would expect to find many fired projectiles where you hunt Richard. The bottle cache was a pleasant bonus. WTG, Q.
 
Actually Bosnmate the canister came from the Confederate Bates.

Coilygirl I need bottle brushes bad. I have tupperware full of bottles that look just like these :)

Quindy yes lots of fired and drops. The knapsack rivet on this site gives me hope to find more than just projectiles. I have been skipping iron and plan to concentrate on that.

Danknug. That is from House Misc documents 1890-91 vol 5 Rebellion Records series 1 part one-reports (123 year old book)

Thanks for the replies!
