Missouri Battlefield Gives Up A Few Relics

[jimmyk]

Hi, All:

Got to spend a few days hunting one of my favorite places with my trusty AT Gold. Been hunting this Missouri Battlefield off and on since 1981. Have dug over a thousand bullets, 85 artillery shell fragments, an unexploded 10 lb. Parrott shell and a 6 lb solid shot. It's been good to me. As the years go by, it's getting harder to find relics. I've had the privilege of having the run of a 270 acre farm that a large portion of the battlefield is on, and I've hunted it hard. Here's a few of my latest finds from last week. Nothing too great, but at 71 years old, I still get a thrill digging something that was last touched by a civil War soldier.

Thanks for looking and keep on diggin'

Thanks for posting......A lot of people are still not detecting because of weather conditions.

Cool. I used to pick up the old .57 Sniders up here. Man those old ringers are a glob of lead. No wonder they took an arm off at the wrist when hit.
