LOVE THOSE HUNTED OUT CAMPS, LTD STYLE

Hi All
Here is what the last 4 hunts to a "Hunted Out Camp" turned up once again. My hunting buddy and I have gotten 4 gold dollars out of this so called camp in the last year. Believe me nothing is hunted out using the LTD and the correct settings for where you are. In the picture is another 1862 Gold Dollar, a few A buttons, US box plate, nap sack hooks, a Rosette US from a horse blanket[ we believe] and the real surprise it the 16 ---41 cal. Volcanic bullets, also called Rocket Balls. They were made by the Volcanic Arm Company just before the CW war. It was the first tube feed under the barrel magazine but it just didn't have the knock down power. The company when broke, and Mr. Winchester ended up with it and hired a fellow Named " Henry" who redesigned it, refined the bullet to a cartridge type hence the " Henry 44 cal rifle". These are rare bullets for they made 41 and 31 cal. These bullets will bring $ 60 to $ 95 on the market if I want to sell them. I may just wait to see what the LTD will be replaced with before a make a move on them. IF you are interested in the setting that I use and these are really pr oven, for pressing the red button down to switch back to DE, from PB they are very weak, broken up or just non existing. I used 50-70 sens, where ever it is most stable, of course you have some noise, PB mode, and most important""""" 0 discrimination, and 4 tones I JUST LOVE MY LTD oh yes my back up is another LTD, wouldn't walk back to the truck for anything else.
 
Way to go dirt, nice finds. No civil war camps in this part of Massachusetts, at least non that I know about. There were some camps in the eastern part of the state. I do enjoy hunting around the old stone walls and cellar holes. What state were you hunting in ? Gold sure stays clean. Good luck on the next one. Ron :detecting:
 
Wow what a great hunt. And the gold coin is in great shape.WTG
 
WTG...nice finds bud. The yellow one is my favorite..lol.
 
I'm very impressed with your finds. I was wondering if you think you could have found this just as easily with a Minelab E-Trac or White's V3. I currently own the V3 and am eyeing a Fisher Limited or a E-Trac as a backup detector.

Great finds and congrats.

Thanks
 
Congrats on your finds dd. If I may help, the US rosette is from bridle tack; which company Officer's rode horses. More than likely it would have an iron or brass "square loop" attachment device unless some enterprising Infantryman swiped one to use on his personal gear, which would most likely be his knap sack adjuster belt.
GH,

Everytime I see your picture (icon) I think of Duvall's line from Apocolypse Now .... "I love the smell of napalm in the morning"... and that's allright with me! That outfit does look a little like a dam yankee outfit though... :csflag:

It's all good!

Congrats on the finds.

Tell me how you're setting your LTD up. I am learning with mine and I have some of the same sort of places to re-hunt. I have started to favor BP and All Metal as long as there isn't too much small iron, even so... I like it because if that number jumps up 15 or more, it stands a good chance of being a masked goodie. Tell me about the gold coin. Was it masked? I assume it was since it was still in a "hunted out" place. How were you set up? What did it read?

Thanks for the help!!

Julien
