have you ever dug up a dead body, like maybe a bullet killed a guy from the battle, and you dig it and find a bone next to it or something lol, has that ever happened? i just always wonder that.

[ResearchandRecovery]

Fortunately, I haven't dug up a body or human bones. I have, though, seen a few animal bones including a cow's femur bone come from a trash pit.

[dragonmybutt]

how can it be 54 caliber?!?!

[ResearchandRecovery]

Which one?

[icollectstuffdude]

What a thrill to find that Spencer! Nice going.

[ResearchandRecovery]

Thank ya!  I was happy to recover it!

This is why archaeologists hate metal detectors. People use it for treasure hunting. What becomes of the artefact?

[RecoveringRelics]

I bought a shovel the other day and it broke when I picked it up. It just fell apart. The only good news is that I got it on film! It at the end of my latest video. Anyways, I am thinking about getting a Predator Tool Shovel. Nice bullets!

Hey Ian. You seem to know just about every civil war bullet you come across. Man tell me what resources have you used to identify all these bullets. I find alot of Civil war Bullets, but I find it hard to id them by name. Is there a website, book or some type of resource I could use to better ID these bullets. Awesome video..

[RecoveringRelics]

Nice job with the videos! How do you find your digging spots?
