A few civil war bullets

Had a nice afternoon hunt. Very tough swinging as the land had only been bush hogged and signals weren't good since our ground is so dry right now. We really need some rain.

Still first 3 ringers of the fall makes me happy!

Good work! There’s more there.
I hope to find a camp this winter.

Only found one civil war era coin on this property, an 1858 half dime early last year. The Union troops were payed while camping there and this coin looks mint. I like to think of soldiers gambling around the camp fire and that tiny half dime getting lost in the dark. Otherwise it is bullets, camp lead, a few buttons, j-hooks and such. There was no fighting at this site.

Below coin from last year.

I have grown fond of relics after watching so many detecting vids who get into civil war or as old a metal as possible, thanks
too_
