Here are my Civil War relic finds from the last week. Used my G2 with 13" Ultimate coil, Fisher F19 with stock elliptical coil. Some firsts for`me include two rare .58 caliber Sharps (big shout out to my buddy Digger70Pa for whom I would never have found one of those, not to mention two). Finished up the week back down in east Tenn. where I got my first .38 cal Hayes pistol bullet while hunting in a briar patch (yes, paid the price there). Got some finds at incredible depth with the G2/Ultimate coil combo (its killer for relics!)...got a handful of bullets in bad soil (4 bars on FE meter) at 9-10", and got my deepest bullet EVER (an Enfield) in good soil in a pasture in south east Ky at a measured 14" !!!! Almost gave up and filled the hole in twice...glad I didn't,was truly shocked to see that bullet come out that deep. Happy hunting!

Nice finds! I can't wait to head down home and try to find me a three ringer or two. Looks like a great time!
 
Nice! Those .58 Sharps are sick! Nice job on the Hayes. Got one myself a few weeks back.
 
Wow!

Somebody's been tearing it up!
Way to go, Bill.
Love looking at all that CW stuff. Great bullets and the token is very nice, too!
Congrats!!
