    Item from 1800's homesite

    Train cars used something similar, but they had a wire coming out of them. They were solid lead.

    Type of shovel for relic hunting.

    I started out using an Army shovel. A real US folding Army shovel is almost indestructible. For deep targets, a "drain spade" works good, and is effective for all depths. Most hardware stores have these and they and they are not expensive.

    Hindrance and help

    I would just "bond" with my machine and dig almost everything until I learned to read the beeps. Single tone machines can be learned to distinguish what an item likely is.

    Well broke the Deus in with a big return wedding Ring!

    Finding something for someone is often more rewarding than finding it for yourself. I have returned many a class ring to the owners over the years. Young people of today won't even hardly give you a "thank you", but the older generation is always thankful.

    My Favorite Artillery Pieces

    The old man that restored the 2 on the right died some years ago. I've never heard of Gemplers. I always wiped my shells down with Tung oil. It keeps them from rusting further, but doesn't make them "shine".

    I've been expanding my.....

    Now, finding a good place to hunt is more important than the type of machine you use. I used to have some good farms to hunt, but those old people have died, the farms sold, and new owners stop folks from digging and everything else. I haven't knocked on any new doors in years, but when I'm able...

    Bomb civil war

    I would have worried about having a fire in the house. I sold a lot of my stuff many years ago. I know of a non-dug Hotchkiss shell that I could have bought for 50.00, but wouldn't touch it.

    Another short hunt with the T2

    Nice hunt! For me nowadays, that would be a GREAT hunt! But finding just a bullet may get me fired- up again.

    The T2 is a really good machine for relics.

    My Favorite Artillery Pieces

    I did not dig the 2 "restored" shells on the right, but I know the history. The CS Reed shell was plowed up on a farm that used to be my Great Grandfather's plantation. There was a small battle that took place there. The CS case shot cannonball was found in an old house at Sayler's Creek decades...

    Some of the shells will "burp" when you break into the cavity. That will usually cause you to poop in your pants.
