I got out for a couple hours after work today & did some relic hunting. I've been working 7 days a week. I can't wait til I can put a whole day in. HH Tim
Nice handful of lead. I have a question if I may, are these bullets that have been fired and missed their mark? Or were they dropped and not picked up again? When I think of finding bullets, I envision a squished lump of lead.
All of the ones in the pictures are dropped or discarded bullets. During the civil war cartridges weren't self contained. Meaning the bullets weren't in a brass case. The bullet was wrapped in paper with the powder. If they got wet or the paper cartridge tore they were useless. Lots of waist back then. ThanksNice handful of lead.

Thanks buddy.Nice load of lead Tim , give you a whole day and you'll need a wheel barrel. Nice hunt buddy
I'm sure there's some brass in there. I'm just not digging low conductors now. See I'm using a pulse machine & discrimination is a little bit sketchy lol. .22" bullets sound like a big target. We've found quite a few buttons at this spot over the years. This is the second time using my GPX there. Brass will come no worries. Thanks HHWow, hope ya can get on some non-lead relics. Must be a great site. GL.
