Metal detecting underwater in a thunder storm.

Here is a little video of my digging buddy Dan and I finding a bunch of Civil War bullets under water. It was raining up top and chilly, and being underwater actually kept me warmer. Notice the gloves.... yeah, I'm cheap and like to wear them out!

I cant really see Civil War bullets being worth much if anything at all. I see lots of videos of metal detector users finding them. Where i live i don't need a metal detector to find them here, just walk out in the woods and kick around the leaves and you will find one (old CW camp and fighting line).

@pcfd20 I like to collect them. Any chance you will tell me where you can just kick them out of the leaves. I'll be there on Monday if that's okay with you. Thanks...

@aquachigger I have not allowed any one on that old property after a guy broke his leg and decided to sue us for it (he lost the suit, but i had to pay the hospital bill). Just goes to show 1 guys stupidity effects many. not saying your that type of person, but its better to be safe then sorry spending 5 months in a lawsuit.

@pcfd20 If I presented to you a "liability release", that would shield you from any legal actions and preclude any attempt to force such. Plus I'd be willing to split the finds or pay you for half of their monetary value.

at 3:34 to the right of the middle of the screen i see a pistol round

@goblo023 I wouldn't doubt it. Several times I've seen things in the videos that I didn't see as I was digging them. I'm pretty sure I eventually picked them up. At least I hope so! Thanks for checking out the video...

thanks for the quick reply, Ill be looking for that camera, I dive down here in South florida, good luck to you ...

[aquachigger]

@piriimd3 Thanks for checking out the video. My camera is an Olympus Stylus Tough-8010. It usually does a pretty good job for a point and shoot. Best part about it is that I found it metal detecting in the river last year.
