WW 2 relics yesterday...Civil war relics today.

[Dan(NM)]

I was able to hit a site that was occupied from 1851 thru 1862 today and managed to rescue some stuff. Not quite sure what a few items are, but, it sure was fun digging it I had to wade though a ton of aluminum, but, it paid off.

My settings were:

Park 1

11" coil

Recovery 4

GB 0

Sens 23

2 tones

Tone break set at -9 thru +10

What a haul Dan!! I wonder if some of your shell casings in the poo pile aren't some old 45-70 cartridges, the are black powder {no separate primer} and won't be necked down for the bullet.
Congrats on the belt plate

Hey Jeff,

Thank you. The casings are blanks, they used to do reenactments here years ago and they are scattered everywhere
