Got out for an hour and a half today for some detecting.

Here's a pic of about one third the area I have permission to detect.

I dug three signals today. A wire, a flat piece of iron and what looks to be a bullet.

I'm not an expert by any means on the civil war stuff, so if I'm wrong on this item being a
bullet let me know. The top is sort of flatened, and sized up to the dime it seems
large. Seems to be lead and is heavy like a slug.

    That is a bullet... congratulations on finds and a spectacular site. See if you can get old maps of battles etc from the library. Cheers, RickO

    Post your bullet here and they can tell you exactly what it is. The site is called Civil War Bullet.

    Once again perseverence pays off. I probably won't even entertain getting out until April with this cold winter we're having in MN. I could see doing it in a plowed field though, had I chance. Then you can dig with a pick axe and such. Way to get out there and do it and let us know if you find anything else!
