civil war bullet

Over the weekend, I went back to the site where I found the 1849-O seated liberty quarter and pulled out two more notable finds. One was a beautiful little flat button from 1820-1840 that still has a lot of gilt still on it. Says "Robinson & Co * Extra *" The other find was a bucket lister for...

First dig of the Spring in Southern Minnesota, USA on a farm dating back to the 1850s. 1. Top finds were the 2 shell casings stamped J.G. (Jospeh Goldmark), which I believe are 56-50 shells dating from the Civil War era. I'd love some confirmation on that from those who know their cartridges...

What a day it has been! I have always seen people find buckles and other various civil war goodies beside the typical bullet, and thought wow if only I could find a site/ relics like that. It’s nearing the one year anniversary of my journey metal detecting and I have dug tons of bullets, a few...

Of the 130+ CW Bullets I have dug, this black residue I have found on only 4 bullets. It has a flat finish. Exists in patches in the cavity, the grooves and all the way to the nose. Considering all of these are drops, it can't be barrel residue. Something from the molding process?

My husband found this one, bottom, a couple of days ago. We are excited. Hoping to find other relics.

Check out this video. I found a Civil War era pistol bullet. Let me know if you know what kind it is. Thank you.

This ranks as 1 of my top finds for the year/ever. I've never found anything gold or gold plated but what a weekend we had. We hunting a big private farm here in northern Carroll County, MD. I think we may have stumbled into a possible Civil War camp but we need to go back and spend more time...

A day out with the family. I have the best diggers!:icon_thumleft: Love that Velox 1!

I just got back in time to post this as a "Today's Find". I went out to a wooded area with a buddy tonight that was right in front of what used to be an old house. The house has pretty much fallen apart completely now and all that is left is the foundation of the chimney. We thought that we may...
