I'm not a relic hunter, but some here may find this site of interest. It may assist in identifying some of the CW bullets we've been finding. The site has plenty of photos.

Yes, looks like a great site to id cw bullets.

About 30 years ago, up in Chattanooga, they scraped the surface off of part of Missionary Ridge, as they were planning to build some houses or apartments, whatever.

My husband (now deceased) was really big into md-ing even back then and of course we went there and he was diligently searching with his detector. We only had the one detector at that time, and so I was simply looking at the surface of this area. I found more bullets on the surface than he did using the detector.

Was just too funny.
