Nice finds twister. I wish we had some of that in the northeast.
I came across this and thought it was interesting so I figured I would pass it along. It turns out that country music singer Darryl Worley has done some metal detecting in the civil war sites in Tennessee. The local radio station was talking about an interview with him and his metal detecting for civil war things. Also, one of his new songs is about one of those battles. Here's a little more info.

“Shiloh” (Darryl Worley/Wynn Varble/Don Poythress): I grew up on the opposite side of the Tennessee River from the Shiloh battlefield. We spent a lot of time there when I was younger, and I’ve recently been back a couple of times. I used to hunt for relics, musket balls and things like that. I love Civil War history, and that site is just an awesome place to visit. You think,“My God, look at the people who died here.” And at this time we’re in, in American history, I thought it would be really cool to have a song that would basically say, “United we stand, divided we fall.” That’s the message of the song, because the Battle Of Shiloh is a good example of that.
