Metal Detecting for Civil War Relics & Artifacts - 1700's LA Homesite

Good finds ! Went back to the 1700s homesite metal detecting
for civil war relics and old coins. It was hot & the grass was too high. Confed troops were in the area during 1863. Was able to find a few things with the F75LTD : Bullets, Spoon, Button etc. Will try spot again later once they make hay. Thanks for looking.

I've found that type of older roofing tack around older schools and some older houses---I believe it was a popular type back in the 40's or 50's

@micmoable Thanks for your comments. I find these anywhere there is or was an old building too. I checked out your video and enjoyed it. Keep in touch. CCH

How did they come up with .69 as a caliber? Why not round it up to 70? Bizarre! Chees!

[Cajuncoinhunter]

@moleman1961 Hey - There were literally hundreds of different bullets made for various caliber rifles during the Civil War Period. .69 cal simply means 69/100's of an inch. If you were to break an inch down into 100 segments, this bullet would be 69 parts of the 100 ( or slightly over 1/2 an inch and just less than 3/4 of an inch). This is a very LARGE round ball for sure. Thanks for your comments. I appreciate it. Good luck. CCH

@Cajuncoinhunter Thanks---I've been detecting 27 yrs and have used all major brands of detectors but not all the models of course---had six or seven Tesoros and several Fishers and Garretts--musta owned around 25 or 30 detectors over the yrs-----found bookoodles and write articles for Lost Treasure every now and again---Michael Mosley
