@knivesandgear1 Thanks for checking out the video, But I don't sell any of my finds, and can't really start giving them away over the net. If you are local to me and a student, I would certainly consider giving you one. If not, you can buy bullets on eBay for a dollar or two a piece and there are tons to choose from.
Where do you find more of your finds? rivers or lakes? I have a river just a few miles from my house however not sure if its a great idea to just jump in you know?
....@Truetone30 Most of my water finds come from creeks, streams and rivers. There aren't any natural lakes in this area. As far as checking out your local spot, you'll never know until you go. Thanks for checking out the video.
great video. so that was a confed bullet dump. so i guess after the war they dumped the bullets becuase lead was heavy to carry and they didnt need them anymore.
@24theillusionist The grid pattern would be only on part of the bullet. and it must be a round ball. If the bullet is not a round one and the grid pattern is in a small channel that goes all the way around the bullet, then it is definitely post civil war and may be only a few years old.
@24theillusionist It's very difficult to tell from a verbal description. It it is round, the grid design may actually be the impression from the cloth that is folded around a colonial era bullet just as it is loaded. I have seen many like that. If it is not round, it is probably fairly modern.
@13chase131 Thanks for the question. I travel across the country digging and my videos are from all over. As they say, the treasure is where you find it. Thanks again.
SWEET!!! A LEATHER BULLET POUCH DECOMPOSED! that is awesome dude, i live my the stones river battlefield in murfreesboro tennessee, and i wanna dig there so bad. it was the turning point for my state! :D
@XlTBUNTINGlX Hi.... Thanks for checking out the video. Sorry, but I don't sell any of the things that I find. It's way too hard to find them, and parting with them is even harder. But, if you go to eBay, there are tons of Civil War bullets for sale cheap. My buddy also has them for sale. Google his website "Pack Horse Ford Relics". Thanks again!
@aquachigger i went into an antique shop today and saw some bullets in fine conditon for 3$ apeice and ended up unknowingly picking one up that had a little star in the sabot which are VERY rare i think but what does the star represent, how valuable are they, and how rare are they?
have you found any? funny thing is it was in a shop and i never excpected that but lo and behold God gave me an awsome find on that
@kghsbassboy That is a neat find you have. The star in the base is a manufactures mark. It was made by the Washington Arsenal. They are not terribly rare, but are collectible. As for price, it can vary dramatically. If you Google "Washington arsenal bullet" you will come up with some places that sell them and compare prices. Keep on collecting!
There are several books dedicated to Civil War bullet identification. In fact, there are many hundreds of different types of bullets. So there is no easy answer other than matching them up by length, diameter, weight and other visual clues with known examples in the reference books.
Nah, that's not a dumb question. Most of the bullets I was finding in this video ALMOST have a "C" stamped on them. They are the most easily recognizable and purely Confederate bullet.
Thanks for checking out the video. I don't sell my finds, but I have a friend that sells locally found civil war bullets and other relics. His web site is "Pack Horse Ford Relics", just do a GIS. Good luck!
Wow! Thanks for taking us along, what a great site! Its nice that the current moves the silt away when you fan, it keeps the visibility really good. Have you found any old coins or other items in that area?
I've found a couple of counterfeit 1850's quarters, several locks and a few other civil war odds and ends. I just need to take the camera more often. Thanks for looking!

would a magnet work better for this after you found them?

@GTM57 Unfortunately no, a magnet only works on iron objects like nails or cannonballs. I do use one for both of those though!

Thank you. I should have guessed there was skill involved, it's not like there would be a big C stamped on them. Sorry for the dumb question.
