Great finds. Just when my civil war season is starting I have surgery Thursday. So I will have to get my fill by keeping up with your finds. Keep them coming so they can at least see some finds.

I hope everything turns out well for you buddy. I had some health troubles from 2018 to 2022. Both hips replaced & quadruple heart bypass surgery. Oh both hands were done for carpal tunnel & one trigger finger release. Ill do my best to keep the relics coming out for you buddy.

Thanks buddy. Most of the bullets are Confederate Gardners. Most of the three ringers are Confederate also. The spot I'm hunting is Confederate as it gets. I'm really amazed that anything is left but it's loaded.

I did not realize you used a Gpx I have always wanted to try one of those. Do you dig everything with those or can you tell when it is iron?
I had hernia surgery yesterday. The weeds and crops should be gone when I am able to detect again.

Once you get the hang of it bullets are easy. The tough thing for me is eagle buttons, j hooks & .22 cal bullets all read the same my button count has gone down drastically but my bullet count has gone through the roof. I dig the low conductor targets when I'm finding lead. It discriminate pretty well. Bent nail & washers give it fits but it's not bad.

I've never used a 5000. My buddy's have them. They have more programs. One is for coin hunting. Tuning wise same machine. I have two GPX4500's.

Buddy once you get the hang of it it's easy. I tweaked some settings I got from some Culpepper digger had & away I went. I'm telling you this my G2 is a very good relic machine. My GPX4500 makes it look like a toy. It makes any machine look bad. It doesn't ground false on anything. If it goes off there's something in the hole. A vlf will fool you into digging fantom holes looking for fringe targets. You should witness a fringe target on a gpx.
