Civil War Era Ghost Town Gives Up Relics

[jimmyk]

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,

A few goodies.

Stock large coil. Not too trashy at this part of the ghost town.

Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. I had similar experience while coin hunting with the ATGold. Rehunted the same area as previously hunted with a CTX3939 and found a surprising number of coins that should have been found. An area 150' square, so it wasn't that hard to cover. Really liking the AT Gold.
