Turn the disc., and went out and found me a Civil War bullet?

[jraven]

Went out for a quick hunt over to the soccer field. Taking the advice from some friendly forum posters. I turned the discriminator toward Foil, Pull Tab and Screw cap. At first I dug a few pieces of scrap then dug two pennies. My next signal was kind a funny I played with it a bit adjusting the discriminator while I pin pointed it. I thought it was another penny. So I began to dig. I dug about 5 inches and saw nothing. I decided to widen the hole a bit, and when I did I saw this baby pop out from the side. I couldn't believe what I saw.

Thrilled to death I packed up and headed home. I would imagine its a Civil War bullet considering I live in a hot bed Civil war historic area. My first Bullet either way.

Your bullet looks like the standard .58 caliber minie ball. That is the iconic bullet of the American Civil War.

Congratulations on your first. I still remember mine.

Thanks plehbah, I love it, and this hobby.......
