Civil War Era Ghost town Gives Up More Relics

Back to the Civil War era ghost town I've been hunting hard the past two years. The town was located at a country cross roads that are still there. One corner has a house, two corners are fields with crops and the other corner is a pasture. I went back to the pasture with the town part about the size of an acre. It has cattle and the grass is eaten down to the ground. Perfect for detecting. It's easy to grid off the area for thorough covering. This was my third time of covering the field. The first time was two years ago with a Blisstool and found two Civil War era silver coins and several dozen bullets. I hunted it again last year with a CTX3030 and found absolutely no relics. Couldn't believe it was totally hunted out, so I went back with my new ATGold this week. Was pleased to see the ATGold was able to pull out ten more bullets. Looks like the ATGold is a keeper.

Thanks for looking,

Congrats on the relics!! The AT-Gold is a very good relic machine, it's my primary relic and coin machine and I've made some great finds with it. This machine has already paid for itself in finds.
 
Nice to see some of that nice grey matter! It looks like the center top 3 ringer was chewed on, perhaps from pain during a field medic intervention.
 
Nice work and great report on how you are hitting that site with some different gear and how the AtGold stacks up...:clapping:

Great report - yes! I bet the true all metal mode & threshold was useful.

More than likely chewed by some critter. I heard that some bullets were coated in tallow (fat) and when discarded they would be chewed on by rodents. I've found hundreds of chewed bullets and almost all were the small, sharp tooth bite marks. Still fun to dig.

I sold my CTX3030 and have switched to the ATGold as my primary machine, as well, for relics and coins.
