  • Metal Detecting where Thousands of Civil War Soldiers Camped 160 years ago!
    This week we travel 11 hours north to Virginia to hunt a dream location where thousands of Civil war soldiers lived and battled! Buttons, bullets, relics and bottles this video has it all! I put my Garrett Axiom to the test on this relic hunting adventure!

    Wow, does this bring back great memories from when I was relic hunting in northern Virginia back in the 70's into the 90's. Our machines were nowhere as nice these modern ones but the amount of relics back then was amazing. Love seeing you out there, Brandon. More of these, please! Take care, be safe and God bless!

    If it has Greece grooves and a hollow base it's a Minnie ball. If smooth side with a hollow base it's a Pritchet ball. If looks like a Minnie with a post and a washer it's a Williams cleaner bullet

  • @derekstocker6661
    @derekstocker6661 11 місяців тому

    Brilliant finds guys, the bullets I think are known as "3 ringers" from what I have seen on other ACW sites. Great finding the buttons in one hole and the stone bottle is a real treasure. I am always amazed that even with all the ploughing that must have gone on, how deep these artefacts are located.
    Keep up the great work, look forward to more finds!

  • @mattlevault5140
    @mattlevault5140 11 місяців тому

    Good finds! A word about those "cuff buttons"... I know we tend to call them that but they are more likely vest buttons. Uniforms were expected to last 90 to 120 days in the field and often burned when discarded.

    Many years ago (early 70's) I used to live in Maryland. I got to visit lots of Civil War sites, but didn't even know metal detectors even existed until I got back to Texas. I ran across someone who worked for Garrett in their Dallas store who got me interested in them. I've owned three in my lifetime, but never had a chance to go back east where most of the battles were fought. I did however find out about a Civil War encampment on the bank of the Trinity River, just east of Dallas. A friend and I searched both banks several times, but never located any sign of the encampment.

    do you have to pay for the right to do that? or do most farmers do not care as long as you fill in the holes.
    another fine video thanks for sharing your adventure. the beer bottle was great, it is sad to think how many
    were lost to time! like today there will be nothing to be found unlike the past items burried.

    Uniform cuff buttons buried that deep all together would signify that a body was buried there after the action was over, and cuff buttons is all that are left.

    At some point it stops being relic hunting and starts to become archaeology - I don’t know what that point is, but I feel like this is super close to that line.
    Congratulations, gentlemen. I think with just a little more regimented excavation and documentation you’d be doing “real” archaeology.
    That’s not intended to throw shade at you in any way, it is meant as a compliment.

      I highly doubt you have opportunities to dig in dug in civil war winter camps "all the time". Otherwise you wouldn't be calling the finds we made "junk". A true relic hunter understands the historic importance to every artifact recovered. Maybe one day you'll find the appreciation for the hobby and if not, go find a new one.
