    Hey Chig! Love your videos! I used to live in Winchester, Va. in the mid/late 80's and would go metal detecting after work and on weekends. My hunting grounds ran from Stephensons Depot to Strasburg to Berryville. Cedar Creek battlefield did me good with a CS Ga. frame, a US box plate, a cache of company "F" letters and a wormed out minie ball with the worm still attached. Sadly most of my old hunts are either off limits or developed now. Star Fort was another favorite place. I used an old Coinmaster machine and after work I would stock up my army field jacket with a six of beer, a pack of Marlboro red and my trusty digging tool....which was a repro Civil War "Arkansas Toothpick." I lost that toothpick on one of my treks and have always wondered if some other digger found it. Not the best equipment but I never got totally skunked. Always found a minie ball or something on all my digs. (Those were the days!)
    Anyway, I have a couple permissions in Bedford, Co. Pa. and another fort site in Huntingdon county. These are old colonial sites dating from the 1700's to the mid 1860's and one log cabin site that dates to the 1740's. I have one site that Washington's troops camped during the Whiskey Rebellion that was a trading post during the French and Indian war. I would like to do Civil War detecting in Va. and W. Va. again sometime so if you want to do some hunting together sometime I would be honored.

    As always you did awesome! That silver coin was sweet and the cuff link was really special. Things like that are the personal items that really bring home the history of an area. And at the fire pits you can just imagine the stories of soldiers sitting around sharing a meal or cup of coffee if they had it. Thanks for bringing us along to share in the experience.

I wish that I could metal detect, because I would love to find some confederate bullets and moar!!!! unfortunately I am disabled from ms, and some other serious stuff going on, but I love watching your video's and going back in time.

      I wish there was Spanish silver here. Sadly that's further east and south of here where the conquistadors were. And most of those areas are now state or federal lands. And I'm sure you know what that means.. no detecting haha but yeah I have done some of those dances especially after looking all day long and not finding anything and finally you find something worthy of going into the display at home. My oldest coin that I've found is only 1892 whereas I've collected older. And I've got everything from thimbles, to buckles, to horse and mule tack, and kids toys, and knives. But every time I go I find something new. I have several pocket watches some just junk ones and some with silver and even a gold one. I sure jumped for joy that day.

    The one round ball that has been chewed up could of actually been fired and those marks are from small rocks in the earth, so not a direct hit but a miss and skip across the surface.The reason i think so is because while i am target shooting with black powder firearms i have tried to find the rounds i have fired and sometimes you get one that is a little chewed but not to bad. And half of the ball will be black from burnt powder. Just to help with investigating your ammo category finds.

      You may know that marbles were used by children to play a game that involved hitting small marbles with a large shooter marble. Poor people, who were far more prevalent and destitute 80 years ago, didn't have money to buy glass marbles or risk damaging them if they had them. Common or "commie" marbles were a cheap, often homemade, substitute. Clay was separated in water, mixed with sand and binders, formed, dried, then kilned in the back of a stove.
