Born and raised on the Cold Harbor battlefield in Hanover County Virginia, I've been relic hunting for 50+ years. Join me for civil war metal detecting adventures in Cold Harbor and elsewhere, as we dig up the tangible evidence of our history - the good, the bad and the ugly. And don't forget to watch until the end, where I feature a unique find from the past! Something found anywhere from five years ago to fifty years ago, when the relics recovered were more unusual! You never know what might turn up . . .
Beat Me To It! But They Missed the CW Treasures - Bullets & Buttons Hid From Them, But Not From Me!
My friends hunted this Civil War spot the day before me. But I went DEEP and found bullets and buttons that they missed! Using that annoying DEEP program has distinct advantages. Target discrimination has its place . . . but on a Battlefield or a Camp, Go low and go slow. And DIG THOSE MOUSE WHISPERS!

You just never know what you might find on a Civil War site! In addition to a trifecta of state buttons, and some good bullets, I stumbled upon a personal item that may have saved a soldier's life in close combat. At the end of the video, we take a look at a Civil War firearm found in the 1960s that is incredibly in WORKING order! #metaldetecting #digginghistory #relicdigging #civilwar #metalde...

It's well known that Civil War Soldiers often carried outdated equipment and wore outdated uniforms. Today I found a U.S. Infantry button manufactured in the 1820s-1830s. I also dug Civil War era buttons and dug a pocket-full of bullets. It's amazing that these relics of the past are still just inches below the soil! #metaldetecting #digginghistory #civilwar #relicdigging #deus #history #civilw...

Another excellent video! I love it when you go behind others and rake in the relics. The fact that they are your friends makes the victory a bit sweeter 😂. I was detecting at a local park in the neck today, when a young woman pulled in with her two dogs. She said her preacher got her husband into metal detecting, and as I asked who the preacher was I already knew before she said his name. Looks like I need to buckle down and bring the family by on a Sunday!
Wha?!? Did one of the dogs only have one eye? I can't think of many guys that I got into detecting! I try to keep them OUT! If a one-eyed dog is involved though . . . then I know exactly who it was. And heck yes - bring the fam! But you better introduce yourself as Major Musket . . .
Ah, the stories in-between the finds can be the most interesting. Once knew a place in Bermuda Hundred . Camp off the James River. Confederate calvary first, then U.S. army after they shelled the Confederate calvary off. Frags ,fuzes,bullets buttons. Plates all found early days. There was a large logging camp trash pile 1930s. We avoided it like the plage. Took a new guy there. He did not know about the trash pile. He starts digging in it. We were all in ears shout. He starts screaming and dancing in this trash pile. Shouting, I GOT IT I GOT IT !!! We spin around run up and there He stands with a C.S. Nashville plowworks sword in his hands 😮 My jaw and the other guys jaw hit the round. All those years. Een the old times Mac mason ,Tommy Johnson, and others through the years just walked on by. Keep um coming Walker. God bless
@@333Hogwarts awesome story Hogwarts ty for sharing
Hog, I never want to hear that trash pile story again! Y'hear??
How did they lose so many bullets?
Julia, the theory is that the paper cartridges (Which held the powder to the bullet) would get damp or damaged. They would apparently just toss them, rather than trust their lives to damaged goods.
That was a good day for sure. You did some diggin. Don't be bashful kiss it.
Ha! KISS IT!
Good on the hunt man! Be well out there!
Appreciate it man!
The music that you used, Awesome choice! I've always loved that tune but could you tell me the name of it so I can download it?
The one I use every video (at the beginning) is called "Elevators need Rock Too" But the other one, I can't find it. Both are from "TH-cam Music" from the tunes I can use without worrying about copyright and royalties. . .
A foot and a half down, WOW! I'M just using an "El cheapo Harbor Freight Gordon metal detector. I have watched this video 3 times already. Yes, I agree 100%, take care of the property you're hunting on and cover those holes! Respect it as your own! I gained 1 permission simply because I told the owner that I would fix the holes that the last person left.
Now see, that's smart thinking right there! I'll bet you gained a lifetime permission! Man, when I drive up, if I see the farmer doing ANYTHING I can help with, i roll over and pitch in. Sometimes, he'll ask me if I can take a 10 minute break and help with something. You bet your bottom dollar I'm all over it.
And PS - 99% of success is hunting in the right place. A lot of great relics have been found with entry level machines! It's not the coil, it's where you SWING the coil (with a few exceptions)
Awesome video of course! Very informative for the newbies like me!
Appreciate that, Newbie! I hope you have the luck of the newbies, if you haven't already. Hunted with a guy recently whose wife wanted to go with him. He put a machine in her hands in a cut bean field in Louisa. Half hour later she starts yelling that she found something with letters on it. It was a Confederate tongue buckle . . .
Lol! Ms Kitty is just up there doing her inspections to make sure you are cleaning things right. 😅
Anthony, that cat is a good cat, but I swear, she thinks she owns my barn.
I've never lived close enough to Civil War battlefields/Camps to take up metal detecting, but I've been fascinated with it since I was a kid and I'm in my early 60s now. So I vicariously experience the relic hunting side of myself by watching your videos.😀 I enjoyed your story about finding the solid shot cannon ball. It seems as if you were meant to find it. I imagine when it comes to the more prominent relics in your collection you have a distinct memory of where you were and the circumstances when you found the item.
True SWL. In fact, in the November 15th video, I was hunting a place I last hunted about 10 years ago. In one of the shots, I recognized the exact place I found the most beautiful buckle I've ever dug. So I searched the archives and found some footage of me digging it all those years ago. That will be included in my "look back" at the end of the vid. I'm honestly glad you can "go relic hunting" with me vicariously. That's pretty cool to know.
@@thebattlefieldwalker2841 I'm looking forward to that November 15th video! I always enjoy your stories at the end of the video. Keep them coming!
Great video brother. See you in the battlefield some day 😊
I hope so Sled!
Outstanding finds ty for the adventure bw God bless you
I appreciate that Jay! I had a good fall before the winter crop went in!
@thebattlefieldwalker2841 yes sir u did pretty good take care brother
great day! loved the cannon ball story. sometimes its just your time to get lucky. looks like mt kitty was helping out big time lol.
Yeah, that cat has a knack for sitting in the only place I don't want her to sit.
If your friends that were hunting the day before you were there watch this, they are gonna be upset that they did not hunt a little more carefully! I really enjoyed hearing the story of that 12# cannon ball!
Swamp, that solid-shot story always makes me smile. I want to know how many hunters heard that ball and moved on. I bet it was dozens . . . I know I would have, had I dug the pipe first . . .
I bet your buddies who missed those bullets are spittin nails! But, same thing has happened to me.
Ha! I think they aren't jealous because they don't want to go that deep for a bullet . . .
Great story about the canon ball. A friend of mine says he’d rather be lucky than good any day.
I hear THAT John!
More great treasures and another great story! What would be the chance of a follow up video on the huge old collection that you and Muduck went through….if there is any.
Brian, there might be an opportunity. Help me out. Tell me what you would want to see in a follow up? Just the way the new owner displayed them? What exactly? I am negotiating with some collectors who have never showed or published their collections. Just "friends only" viewed. I'd like to do a series someday on the "Largely unseen" collections of the old timers. At least one of the collections, dwarfs the one you saw. Seriously.
@ pretty much anything as I love seeing treasures that most have never seen or would have never seen if someone hadn’t decided to spend their life dedicated to swinging a coil and realizing what really matters in our country’s short history. I do like the thought of seeing how the new owner has displayed such a vast collection. Love the channel…keep on, keeping on!
Good digging walker. I went for a couple hrs today and it felt like it was summer time.
Finally! Finding anything?
Good video, congrats and thanks for sharing 🙏
Appreciate it Jeff.

You're on the money Steve. I was happy!
Another fantastic outing l thank you.
Congratulations on finding the Civil War bullets. Do you live in VA? Just wondering as I live here in NC. I would love to find out if there are any areas here in NC where Civil War skrimshes took place and try to get permission to hunt those properties.
I live in Virginia Robb, and there are many CW historic sites in NC. You should look up any civil war relic hunting clubs and go to a meeting! Also, on facebook, check out "Carolina Metal Detecting." The admin is Jake Murdock and he might be able to direct you to a club.
And tell him "The Battlefield Walker" sent you!
U da Man BW! Keep'em coming Brother! God bless!
You're too kind Shane, but I appreciate it!
Another great day for sure Walker! Congrats buddy!
Appreciate that Joe . . .
You have the best and most informative channel…watching from South Dakota.
hey Cliff - that's really kind of you to say! My wife did her internship (dentistry) on the reservation at Pine Ridge. Ya'll stay warm up there!
That pistole your father was able to restore reminds me of the difference in condition the relics we found in the 60's and 70's versus what's found today. I remember visiting a farmer in Dinwidee county who had 2 canteens in great condition (by todays standard) complete with bullet holes that his boys had found laying on top of entrenchments on his property, no detector.
Just WOW. The only thing I am old enough to remember laying on top of the ground other than bullets after a plowing and rain, were cartridge box tins on Watt House Hill in Cold Harbor. I've known of guys kicking those tin inserts aside so they could detect! I don't know why so many were there except that it was MASSIVE fighting charging uphill into hot musketry and cannister. I could imagine guys under withering fire just tearing at their cartridge boxes for the next bullet and maybe the adrenalin just caused them to rip the whole tin out - I don't know. But yes absolutely. There has been a tremendous change in the condition of relics from 60s-70s to today.
Another great relic hunting video, Walker. Thanks for sharing. BTW - that's beautiful lit display with the rifle, pistol, etc.
Thanks for that Gary! I like the way it turned out, too!
A gpx will umcover more relics in that good soil
Yo Dave! If I owned one, I'd try it! I ABSOLUTELY KNOW there are undiscovered hut-sites here. (I've found 2) Maybe a GPX could sniff them out . . .
Is there a theory as to why there are so many dropped bullets found by relic hunters? It seems they would have been a precious commodity. My understanding is that the vast majority of rifle bullets (3 ringers, Enfields) came to the soldiers pre-wrapped in paper cartridges. When you find a rifle bullet do you believe that when originally dropped that it was in cartridge form and that the paper and gunpowder naturally gave way to nature? Or do you think most were already separated from the cartridge and tossed on the ground for whatever reason? I really enjoy your videos!
SWLC, Thank you for your encouragement. I assume that most dropped cartridges got damp, or maybe tore open, and were just discarded. At this particular location, I sometimes find multiple bullets in one hole with significant black-powder corrosion. Meaning they lay in the ground, stewing in their own powder for a very long time. They may have been left behind when they broke camp in a hurry, or dropped and got muddy, or became damp. That's about all I am willing to guess!
@@thebattlefieldwalker2841 I remember instances where you've uncovered a bullet with traces of black powder. Your guess that most were damaged cartridges makes sense to me. I imagine with all the rainstorms the soldiers passed through, despite their best efforts there were going to be times that some soldiers ended up with soaked cartridges making them worthless- and hence tossed on the ground. I was always surprised at seeing stores/auctions/eBay where there were boxes literally filled with 100s of dropped bullets. Since so many of them are found at Civil War campsites and battlefields, I thought there might be some explanation I wasn't aware of. Thanks for your response, and damaged cartridges seems the most logical reason.
Buttons & Bullets - a Wonderful Hunt! Thank You for sharing the adventure with us! God Bless
Hey Steve, thanks for that, and right back atcha!
Excellent finds Walker. I would have been satisfied with the bullets but the NY buttons were very nice!
Jerry, it was a great fall. I have ONE more vid from this fall, in this place.
an excellent day indeed! you just wonder what those new york boys were thinking about so far from home. that little brass boot pistol is so cool!
You already know we think alike . . .
Enjoyed 👍
Thanks Hee-Haw!
Awesome video as usual! I have the exact same eagle powder flask in my collection. I found it years ago in an old house we were demoing and the owner let me keep it. I used it for a while when I was into black powder shooting, but now it's in a display case.
Jack, that's really cool. In the mid 70s, I got into black powder shooting, and my dad allowed me to shoot his original Tower Enfield regularly. My sister has it now.
Wonderful hunt, Walker. Interestingly, how time has now eaten most of the gold wash on those New Yorks. I dug many in the days gone by that had amazing gold on them. I dug two large eagle A buttons behind an artillery position in Cold Harbor a creek with very clear water running through it with almost 100 % gold wash on them. Contact me we will talk about where. My days are over for digging. I dont mind sharing with friends. God Bless
Hogwarts, I think it's mostly fertilizer that is eating these buttons up. If I find them in the sandy topsoil, they seem to look better. Like the drainage of the sand helped. Ironically, if I dig them deep on the clay hardpan, they look worse. I've dug them so pretty they look new, and a foot away they are toasted. I don't know how to contact you, but if you want, my email is walker@rcofc.org
May Jesus, Mary and Joseph protect you and the Soldiers on both sides. Awhile back I told you about Irish die hard Catholic .Ancestor who supported the Union and Republican he didn't like Democracy. He supported the Republican party in 1854, 170 years later we still support the Republican Party to this very day. Because back when he was Ireland he wanted a Republic. That's why I'm here in the good old U.S.A!
Thank you Kolbe!

I think it is where the Logan Wild Cats camped It is on my Grandpas Property but I cant hunt there anymore. My grandpa and grandma are both dead and my Cousin Owens it now and she will not let me hunt on it . I ran across it while digging water lines and putting power in a house trailer I dug up 11 bullets all dropped unfired and a lot of old broke black glass beef and pig bones in what I think was a trash pit . There was a broke Ginger beer bottle also. It is in the town of Chapmanville that is in Logan co. WV .
