Just goes to show you, you can learn something every day… I had no idea they had soda cans with pulltabs during the Civil War! 🧐 😃 great hunt, I am envious, I would love to work a Civil War battlefield!

@jeffmckenzie7282 5 месяцев назад

I've found Union and Confederate Beerdaloons before. 🤣

@RelicsRings Год назад

Gin it was nice meeting you at DIV. Nice job on finding the 2 fuses, anyone would be happy finding those. That is tough soil to hunt but you proved with a little determination you can still make some great finds.

@Treasure-Charger Год назад

What an amazing opportunity and experience! Congrats on your finds and thank you for sharing all of the finds at the end. WOW!

@billsapp9681 Год назад

Man that was a lot of relics. Loved how you added your insignia to yours. Don't remember seeing any fuses except yours. Could tell you were excited. Good job

@ehayes5217 Год назад

The graphics & descriptions of the various finds are very well done; in fact, they're excellent!🇺🇸

@LuckyGin Год назад

Thank you! Hunts are always fun, but it’s also been fun for me learning what the civil war finds are.🙂

@rogerhenson6589 Год назад

I admire your determination and not quitting digging in that hard dirt 👍😊

@Bearclaws1234 Год назад

You had some cool finds and wow, so many bullets and even buckles found! When I saw those, I couldn’t help thinking of the lives lost there. Thanks for sharing the hunt and the weather, wow, it looked gorgeous!

@LuckyGin Год назад

Yes, I thought of that on while I was there. I asked about it and someone said there was roughly 15k troops at this battle. It must have been dreadful.😔

@azdh85224 Год назад

Great video. That was so much fun to watch. Thank you for sharing.

@robertrobert7924 Год назад

Very interesting dig. You would make a great archaeologist. I camped on a farmers field @Antietam Battlefield in 1960 with the Boy Scouts when I was 13 yro. From 100 years of plowing the field there were thousands of surface finds of Minie Bullets every step you took. I was named after Robert E. Lee, so you can imagine what a thrill it was to experience this.

@MESABOOGIE01 Год назад

Enjoyed your video! Great finds! We’ve been having the same problem with the ground being too hard in Texas right now too. Great video Gin! Good luck on your next hunt!

Great video Gin. I had a great time hunting with you. We sure had a lot of fun. That was a great hunt. I have been attending DIV hunts for 10 years and I always look forward to the next one. I think you see now why we call these family reunions. You meet so many new friends at each hunt and look forward to seeing them again on the next hunt. I look forward to seeing you again on some future hunts.

My Uncle George started metal detecting old battle fields just after WW2 with a mine detector he got as surplus for $5...He collected amazing finds...He donated them to Wentworth Military Academy in Sedalia Missouri. Hoping your finds get a wonderful home other than FB and IG ...It might be a nice year round up to show your collection🙂

Gin, it looks like you were detecting at the Beauregard farm near Brandy Station. It is a fantastic site to find Civil War relics. John and Rose run a great hunt and you are right about the people that hunt DIV. They are all great detectorists and love to share their knowledge with new DIV hunters. Great finds. Congrats. Missed seeing you at the NY hunt.

@LuckyGin Год назад

I feel like I missed seeing so many people at the NY hunt. It was so brief and busy that there just didn’t seem to be much time to socialize. You are right about Beauregard; it was my best hunt by far. I’ll be doing a Coles hill video too, but it was tough.😰 The whole experience was fantastic though.🙂🍀

@scadstersworld5634 Год назад

Gin, that is a fuse that came out of a projectile of some kind. I found one similar to that one time and it is a Parrott shell fuse. The 2 little holes (One of them is bent out of shape on the one you found) is where two metal prongs on the fuse-removal tool goes into the holes to either remove fuse or screw it back into the projectile. The length of the fuse will give you an approximate idea of how thick the projectile is where the fuse goes in.

@douglasfuqua7082 Год назад

Masterful day, Gin. Those are really rare finds ("fusees")....Gunners (cannons) set timed fuses to explode the "shell" overhead in the air for "maximum dispersion" of destructive fragments...to wound, mame, kill (neutralize) as many of the enemy as possible. FINDING intact fusees...is, well, exceedingly rare....and you got TWO on the same hunt day. Outstanding !!!

@LuckyGin Год назад

Wow, thank you for expanding on this. The guys told me they were rare, but you really put it into perspective.🙌🙂

My first relic hunting trip back in the 70s at Fair Oaks VA I found an SNY (State Of New York) belt buckle using a metrotek metal detector, it did not have discrimination so I dug hundreds of trash items also😅

@LuckyGin Год назад

Yep, I watched a ton of that at this hunt because those PI machines don’t have VDI. I dug a fair bit myself too because the soil messed with VDI pretty badly here. When on a cool spot you kinda have to do it.🙂
