Tons of Civil War bullets in strangest spot......

[Gregg3131]

What a crazy day. Went to my buddies to just mess around one of his neighbors yards which is a tiny lot where my buddy found a few bullets in a very small backyard. Was doing it more to catch up with my buddy than actually detect. I did find one 3 ringer he missed. It was time to leave so walking back to car I notice a 3 ringer laying right on the path. Assuming he was messing with me I called him out he swore he did not place it there. I happen to look over to the right of path and notice stacks of very early brick that the homeowner purchased from a retail outlet in order to resell. I then notice a half a dozen bullets scattered under the brick. I still think my buddy planted them there but he did not. We then start moving some of the stacked brick and bullets and round balls are everywhere including sitting on top of lower stack bricks and under the bottom bricks We only moved one tenth of the bricks and found all of these bullets including a 1920s Simeon and WR Roger's silver fork initial engraved and Carrera sunglasses lol. How in Gods name the homeowner did not notice this is beyond me as it's on the side of the house and how they got there is a mystery but what a rush. Need to move all of them.....bizzare day today

Nice. Remember, some folks don't care about relics, at all...

 

[Gene Mean]

Amazing, congrats! Some people just dont get excited about the relics like smokeythecat said. Homeowners always let me keep things and I cant believe they don't have any interest in them. Amazing though if they never saw them.

Pretty cool discovery. Maybe the mystery will come to light as to why they were there. GL out there.

Cool find the home owner planted them hoping you Guys would do some free yard work for letting you detect lol

Man Greg3131.

Could it have been a hiding spot ?

I would think the bricks would have chipped the Minnie's patina off in spots ?

Many drops (or all ) and several different types as well + SILVER !

What a bizarre find, congrats! Based on the cluttered appearance of the area around the brick pile I'd guess that a while ago someone set a cardboard box or bag full of grandpa's dug bullets on top of the pile and promptly forgot about them, with the container rotting away allowing the bullets to fall and hide among the bricks. I'd definitely tear up the area and sift if it's trashy and detecting won't work well. It'd be cool if some CW buttons were lurking around there too.

Please keep us updated!
