I am new to the hobby and am interested in trying to find some civil war stuff.
Welcome from Columbia SC. My suggestion is to do lots of research!
I think that is probably great advice. I know that as a newbie I probably don't have much chance of finding anything super awesome like a CSA belt buckle, but a minie ball or some buttons would be cool.
Where in NC?
You would be surprised at how many really great finds are made by newbies. It all depends on what is under your coil. If you are where that kind of object was lost, you have just as much a chance to find it as a seasoned detectorist.
I am near Durham.
Thee was a big confederate encampment about 5 miles from my house. Maybe I will get lucky and find something on my land!
