@@janwarriner6554 lol. Thanks for the kind words. I think its a lot of luck. I think this ring got washed out of the bank. We had a week of rain from the remnants of hurricane Helen. Right above where we found the ring, there was an area that had been flooded and washed Down toward the creek. Have a great week. 😊

@@rickyb2200 thank you. Glad you also get the kids out there and detect. Have a nice week. 😊

@@giannispap16 thank you!! I do plan getting back in the spring time. Have a nice weekend.

@@djskin13 thanks for sharing this info. I have found 2 artillery shells while metal detecting near Gettysburg. Been fortunate the landowners allow me to do that. Don't surprise me you still are finding stuff over there. Pretty cool. Have a nice weekend

Hi Jimmy. Thanks Buddy

Thanks Ron!!!!

Hi Paula. Thanks

Thanks Richard!!!!! I think this one got washed out of the ground at the top of the creek bank. We had a week full of rain and water had been rushing down here. The ring was just laying under the leaves. Its an older one since its marked sterling instead of .925

@@PAPAROUSwhatsinthedirt thanks Bill

Thanks Mark. I am finding out that the confederates was overtaking them right in this area and the story is they had ditched their stuff to retreat quickly. Less weight.

Agree. there has to be. In the spring I am heading back.

Hi Dorothy. Thank you

Hi Jeff. Thanks!!!

@@benjurqunov yes. Thanks for watching

Someone brought it in to scrap it for money. Probably was an item someone's grandpa brought back from war.

Thank you very much!

@@johnnyphillips9735 thanks Johnny

Thank you!!

@@StoriesFromTheSignal thanks Patrick. The workers seen a guy bring in a whole bucket of civil war bullets for lead. They of course kept those.

Thanks Greg!

Yes!! thank you David

Thanks John. It is really interesting to think about everything that changed in the world as the stuff just laid there. The story had ended but then 160 yrs later I added to its history and saved what was left of it. Really appreciate ya John and you really made me think about this.

@@gr8finds196 John is my last name. Vance is my first. I delt with that since grade school.

Thanks Sheldon. Was glad to save it from being destroyed in the scrap pile.

Thank you!! You may be correct. Usually when I find the lead civil war bullets in water they retain their gray color. These had a white tint to them along with the gray color. At one time they may had been in the river bank and with flooding and erosion they fell into the water. When I find the lead bullets on dry land they turn a white patina from a reaction of the lead and being in the ground a long long time. These I found was kind of gray and had a hint of white.

Thank you Emory. Appreciate you watching.

@@grandmakellymcdonald hi Kelly. Thank you. Go get that treasure.

Thanks 👍 keep diggin!!

Thanks Tom!!!!!

Thanks Keep diggin

Hi Jan. Thanks!!!

Thank you!! The bayonet has to be. Not giving up!! I had the knife looked at in Gettysburg by a friend that deals in civil war stuff for a living. Looked at it with a loop magnification. The handle is bone and in his opinion its war era. He thinks it was in the small pouch pocket in the cartridge box. When the leather rotted away over the years it laid there with all the bullets. But who knows. the blade is totally gone. have a nice weekend, MIKE

@@gr8finds196 Is the knife made by Case? It is certainly like one, I collect knives and have one with the inlaid cartouche and jigged bone scales. US Civil War April 12, 1861 - April 9, 1865. W.R. Case & Sons Company - built with integrity for people of integrity. Our knives are held to the highest standards by the people of Bradford, PA since 1889.

Thanks EZ!! Was actually surprised to see that. The workers said they had one guy bring in a bucket of civil war lead bullets!! Of course they kept those. lol

@@gr8finds196 bit of course

Thank you!!!!!!!

@@homersreluctantodyssey2508 oh man. I would love seeing what all comes in. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice evening

@@ZoeFavers thanks Zoe. Yes it is like a big bullet. It was designed to Penetrate through Armour. Like a tank.

@@keepdigginmetaldetecting thank you!!!!

@@nickvincent9645 thanks Nick

@@AnthonyKendrick-pn2bc thank you. He already has. It's just a solid piece of steel. Would of had a tracer in the base. That had a small charge in it and left a trail of sparks in the sky to see it.

@@jimmymalone3494 thanks Jimmy

Thanks Paul for info. Had a friend in Gettysburg that collects civil war items look at it. He said the handle is made from bone. We think it was in the soldiers cartridge box. there was a small pocket in the front of those and more than likely it was in there. I wish some of leather was still there. Couldn't find any of it in the water. Probably rotted away. Have a nice week Paul.

Thanks for watching. Not much left. The butt stock wood is gone. My theory is the barrel protected the forearm wood but since the butt stock wasn't it rotted away. The wood that is left is hard as rock now. Almost like its petrified.

@@thomasmeadows256 thanks for watching. The AT pro Is a great machine to start with. I have used it also. I decided later on to buy the minelab equinox 800. I currently use it mostly. I am interested though in the new Garrett vortex machine they are getting ready to come out with. Good luck with the AT pro. I know many people that use it all the time. I suggest looking up videos on youtube on how to use it. My friend Aquachigger should have some older videos of him using that machine. Have a nice weekend Thomas, Mike

Thanks for watching. Yeah, it is very possible. I plan to do some exploring more along the bank in the winter. Hoping that will lead to more of the story and the actions here. have a nice week, MIKE

@@PartridgeFamilyProspecting thank you!!!!!!!

@@dgermain3555 thank you. Have a nice weekend.

Thank you. I can not tell if it is. Sadly the barrel is completely rusted closed. have a nice week, Mike
