Went out Sunday with a friend from the Gettysburg, PA area and hunted a couple fields that weren't too far from the battlefield. The have been hunted in the past and several bullets and other relics have been pulled from this area. After about an hour of hunting, I finally found my first civil war bullet...had it checked out by an expert collector, and he identified it as a Confederate Enfield(shallow base) bullet. .577 caliber. Weighs just over 32 grams.
Picked it up with the V3i at 7 inches, and initially rang up as a quarter until I dug the plug, and then it was a solid 52.
