My Unexpected Discovery on a Civil War Battlefield

Join me for another brief relic hunting trip to a local battlefield. It had been awhile since I hunted this particular part of the site, but as it turned out, it paid off. I briefly go over my relic hunting settings for the Minelab Equinox 800. I hope you enjoy the video, and thanks for watching.

 
Nice finds! Was wondering where your shovel came from...looks like a very good design.
 
Thanks. It's a Kobalt Long Handle Fiberglass Trenching Spade (TRS-5CF-K) from Lowes. It was $29.95+tax. I cut 18" off of the handle and added a D-Grip handle off of an old trenching shovel a friend gave me. I also cut some off of the blade off to get rid of the sharp point. I find it much easier to get loose dirt out of a deeper hole and it makes it so much easier to rake the dirt back into the hole. The blade ended up 9.5" long. The overall length of the shovel is now 42-1/2". It's proven to be a great shovel; especially in plowed fields.
