F-75 hunt at hard hit cavalry camp

[jimmyk]

HI, all:

Was beginning to think my favorite site to relic hunt was all but cleaned out, when I tried a different hunting technique and was able to pull seventeen bullets in four hours. The best find was a very nice Sharps .38 cal. T&T 103 multiring, shown in the center. Although considered "rare", this is the ninteenth one I've dug in this camp the last three and a half years.

The technique used isn't all that "new". I decided to go strictly All Metal and listened for deep, mellow, bullet sounding signals. Even though I would check the ID screen, and double checked in the disc. mode, the final determination was the initial sound. Severl bullets didn't read on the meter, and read as iron in disc. Even so, I only dug two iron objects. I will continue using this technique in the future.

Thanks for looking,and keep on diggin'

Wow JK,
Those are impressive. I think all of us stuck up north would love to come south and hunt for Civil War artifacts.
How deep were you pulling these? Did the ID numbers stick around long enough on the meter to help
you decide what you were detecting? I guess my question is if you had hit an quarter in this all metal
mode would your id numbers given you a clue, reading plus 70's or 80's?
Great hunt.

Thanks, Kilmer:

The bullets were from five to nine inches deep, which is pretty good for small pisolt bullets. Sometimes the meter would ID properly , but more often than not, the screen was blank. Too deep to register an ID, but the smooth bullet sounds gave them away. I'm sure a quarter would have registered. Silver is more conductive than lead, plus it would give a larger surface signal than a small lead bullet.

keep on diggin'
