Civil War Ghost Town Hunt

gcollins · May 14, 2006

Hi Folks,
Haven't been hunting for a while because of all the rain here, and a lot of extra duties at work!This Is the worst time of the year for me at work.Went to a ghost town right on the military road where a unit of the Kansas Cavalry spent a lot of time, from what I have read, they were there every evening if they had a chance. I love relic hunting!!
Here is my finds, 1-58 cal. bullet, 1- Enfield bullet, 3- pistol balls, 1-shot 44 cal Dragoon bullet, 1-unknown shot bullet, 3-36 cal. tear drops bullets (theses are hard to come by), and last but not LEAST a 1842 SEATED LIBERTY DIME which was a worn as a neckless shows lots of wearing time! I had a GREAT DAY! Thanks for letting me share!!!

Great finds,Greg! Was that with that new X70? What was the deepest? As you know,I have never been 'relic' hunting,but this is giving me the urge.Keep it going and good hunting!

Thanks Ron,
I havn't had the X70 out yet, these were found with the Deleon, the ground was perfect, the dime was at 6 inches, the little 36 cal tear drops were from 6-9 inches deep. I now have about 50 hours behind the Deleon, and I am learning what it is telling me, it still falses alot on flat 4x4 or so Iron, and I don't know why, but it does! Relic hunting has ruined me, it's the greatest. This fall I will have a place to take you and I can't wait. You have a good one.
see ya My Friend

Hey, great finds there. Civil war relic hunting is awesome isn't it? It has become my forte lately. I have more minies and musketballs now than I ever thought possible. I love it.
