west virginia civil war hunt

[collector01]

I went to west Virginia this weekend with my mom to do a little civil war hunting. I didnt get much but got some good finds. I found a confederate four ring sharps carbine bullet and a nice 1856 quarter and a couple buttons and some musket balls. wish there were civil sites closer to my house.

That seated looks to be in fine shape..very nice. Love the 4 rings Sharpes...I have never dug one and would love to. Looks like you got a good site there. Hit it hard.

A good day. Those 4 ring ringtails are a tough bullet to find. In almost 41 years of detecting I've only dug 1

Yep that is a sweet bullet. Looks like you guys are on a nice field. Good luck.

I am a sucker for great photos. Even mediocre finds can be Rased a good bit with great photos--but you have both Great photos AND Great finds. That photo of the quarter in the dirt is a heart-stopper.

The 4-ring shaprs variant is a nice bullet to have. Last time I really checked on them, seems like they were worth more than $50 each in clean, dropped condition.

What a beautiful place to detect, too. I really enjoyed your post.


Best Wishes,
