Lee, I am woefully ignorant of the E 800. I have a friend who loves it for depth, but hates it for finding Civil war iron. (Canister balls, grape shot) As for the Deus II, my friends are using it. Great machine. I'm not sure it's a HUGE improvement over the Deus I, but my friends swear by it, and say it is an improvement over the first machine. If I did not have a higher end machine, I'd certainly get a Deus II. But since I have the Deus I, and I haven't seen real evidence of a big difference, I'm happy to stay there. Again, if I was buying something fresh, I'd go with the Deus II.

Jerry, he is INDEED working on a way to make this available for public viewing, once he has a VERY secure set-up.

Jerry, I can't IMAGINE! But I hope someday to face that challenge . . . !

That's the way I look at it. It's a solid "maybe!"

Ha! You've always got a "unique" insight Thurin. And I LOVE it!

Thank you Noah. I assure you, it WAS.

Gully, Shelby Foote liked to say that it shouldn't have been fought, but that compromise was impossible. He always believed that a physical fight was inevitable. He famously said, "The civil war, more than any other war, including the revolution . . . was necessary to determine what we were going to be as a country, and what we were NOT going to be." I like that.

Would that be something that one would expect to find in North America? I'm totally ignorant of that kind of thing.

Yeah Jerry - to me that's the most interesting/fun/intriguing! Thinking about what the story MIGHT be!

Yeah Jerry - that's the rub. We know where he hunted, but we don't know WHICH buckle came out of which place, so ground conditions - water - mud - fire - we don't know. Thanks for commenting!

Yeah, that seems probable. A weaker, divided country. But it could be that a united fight against a third party (like you describe) might have brought us back together again. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" and all that.

@@thebattlefieldwalker2841 guess we will never know for sure. 🤣👍✌️

@@car-diologist Agreed . . .

Thanks, NoBull!

Agreed and thank you for the comment! I'd love to relic hunt that historic property! You are a fortunate man!

Appreciate that Earl!

We had some fun...!

I'd love to see it! Thanks for the comment!

@@thebattlefieldwalker2841 its like aluminum or something

I would love to hear anything you've learned Hillary. I grew up a half mile from his home and a quarter mile from his mill. I have walked among the ruins of his house and walked through the mill many times. Thank you so much for your comments!

Agreed Mark. And YES, what a cool place!

Jerry, they are not easy to find these days. You are among a tiny fraction of the population as a whole, that owns civil war history, so congratulations!

Thanks Benjamin! Yes, we were near the famous battle of Hawe's Shop. I've found a few CW relics in that area, but not many for sure.

Candace, my gosh, we were too! Thanks for this comment!

Ha! Love it Gary! We are right down there in the slop, too!

Thanks again Gary! I really love it when somebody enjoys seeing the stuff we enjoy seeing!

Well Gary, I hope you've checked out the other (I think 3?) videos about this collection! Thank you for the comments!

Heck yes! Ours too!

Ha!

Yes! I hope he survived my attempt at rebuilding his bedroom. I didn't strike HIM at all, at least . . .

I have not, but maybe one day!

You're killing those suspender clips!!

If you're for real, I'm game, Big Daddy. You can reach me by phone. Call (804) 333-9659 and ask for Walker.

@@thebattlefieldwalker2841 I am for real and will call you soon as I can. Thank you for your response and Im looking forward to it. My name is Ellis

@@thebattlefieldwalker2841 We own Snyders Bluff on the Yazoo river at Redwood. It was art of the defense of Vicksburg. Often confused with Haynes Bluff. Please read The Capture of Haynes Bluff by the Iowa Cavalry. Its about our place. We are good Christian people here, and I can clearly tell from your content that you are as well. I thought you may like to come see our place.

@@BigdaddyE71 Glad we connected Big Daddy! Looking forward to the plans we've made!

@@thebattlefieldwalker2841 Us as well! You"re gona love it here!

Thanks so much! Doing tolerably good for 64!

Exactly Billy.

Me too Dewey. Just so thought-provoking to be there. I owe Genna for this one.

Oh heck, that's COOL John! Thanks for telling me that. It's odd in that there are no signs pointing the way, nothing. Just that one plaque and a pile of bricks around a cellar hole . . .

Gary, I had to know it in 7th grade and it just stuck with me, I guess. And you're right - it could have belonged to the Henry family. Highly likely in fact . ..

You would have needed an industrial rake. I don't have that kinda time. You are always lovely.

I know I can't do the whole thing, Swamp!

Ha! And I was the straw that broke the camel's back!! OK, I've been educated. And now, how can I tell the difference?

Thanks Jeff. I'm spoiled for all the history that's in the county of my birth . . .

I appreciate that John - Thanks!

Not MANY great finds Joe, but really cool to be there!

The only part I remembered was the part I spoke!

West Virginia for the WIN!

Absolutely YES Michelle on everything you said. There were/are only a finite amount of relics in the ground from any given time period. And relic hunters have been hard at it (collecting) since immediately after the battle (souvenir hunters and scrap collectors) and especially since the 1950s. Yes, that collector must've spent countless hours in the woods and fields amassing that impressive collection. But yes - SO MUCH has already been found. It's still out there, but you have to work so much harder to luck up on it. Thanks for watching, and thanks for commenting!

I know! I've taken 40 lashes for shooing that cat! But rest assured, she has a great life, and is a rescue! Thanks for the kind words, too!

@@thebattlefieldwalker2841 Well, that’s good to know. So many animal lovers in the world don’t like to see them disrespected. Glad I wasn’t the only one! Keep up the excellent videos and maybe be holding that pretty kitty in one of your sign-offs! Be good, say your prayers, and hug your cat!! 😻

Thanks Rich! It was a blast to be there!

Ha! Thank you SO MUCH for the kind words Francis!

@thebattlefieldwalker2841 I am a big Civil War buff myself. Haven't gotten to metal detecting any cool sites but I am at least starting to visit the civil war battlefields this summer. Those videos of Mud Ducks friends collection were amazing

@@francisbennett5965 It was a thrill to be a part of it!

@@thebattlefieldwalker2841 I am so sure it was. It must have been insane holding that amount of history in your hands. Thanks for responding to me. It's like talking to a celebrity.

@@francisbennett5965 Don't be silly! I can't even run with the big dogs on UA-cam, but thanks for saying so! Good luck with your metal detecting - it sure gets in your blood . . .

Darn right. I'll dig it in my head a dozen times . . .

Daggoneit Dennis! Wow. Glad you're one of the ones that made it through it! In the blink of an eye man . . . get better!

@@thebattlefieldwalker2841 No step for a stepper, lol...uh rah

@@DennisEHayes Back atcha Dennis!

Nice of you to say Gary!
