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!
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.
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
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!
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.😔
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.
That was a very nice event and hunt. Your videos are always improving. I hope you enjoy making these videos as much as I enjoy watching them. I appreciate the hard work you do to produce these videos. You are a remarkable person.
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.
Hi Gin nice finds everyone found but the best ones are the one you find as it was so hard for you to dig loving your bling up headphones take care stay safe hope to see you soon ❤👍👍
Gin Another great and relaxing video! That was a great time and hunt for sure. You never know what you'll find and that's the fun of it all. Many shamrocks for you and vases to keep them fresh for Luck on your next hunt!! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🏆🏆 ❤
Being allowed to detect on a civil war site is something I would love to be able to do. Looks like everyone there had a lot of great finds. Thanks for sharing.
Gin another great video. I always look forward to watch your videos. You never know whats going too come out of the ground. I hunt here in Central Texas. You have way too much fun.lol Well be sweet and stay safe. Keep swinging I will catch you on your next hunt.
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😅
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.🙂
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🙂
Thank you. It was cool to get such awesome finds when I went fully mentally prepared that I might not get much because of the extreme soil conditions.🙂
That red clay is no joke. 😖 I lived in SC for 20yrs and it was my only complaint. I love your videos, you have a nice southern voice and laugh. It's so cool to see the relics you pull out of the ground. Good Luck and happy hunting!! Thanks for sharing.
Nice video Gin, awesome finds. Montana is officially down for the winter, 3 degrees this morning and things probably won’t thaw out until late February or early March.
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.
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.🙂🍀
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 !!!
Going out today to do a little metal detecting and hopes that I can find those beautiful eyes and that gorgeous smile this is Bobby I hope you have a blessed day good luck with your metal detecting
I live in Virginia and we done some work in Buckingham county and some guys i worked with found what seemed to be some graves in a wooded area near the subdivision but never heard anything after they reported it. Don't know where you were looking.
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.
Hard soil will dig up easily with a cordless, hammer drill with a chisel bit... You can holster this drill on your belt for easy carry... Blessings: James... 🌿🕊
Can you explain the soil nance thing you did with your pin pointer, for us no diggers out there. I’m so glad you had a blast in my home state, the old dominion. Please come back and check out the revolutionary sites we have. English history started here with Jamestown and continues to build here each day. Have a great Thanksgiving young lady!
Sure thing. The soil there is the most difficult I’ve ever hunted and constantly changing from spot to spot. So each time you want to use your pinpointer, you have to ground balance it first so it will function properly. I create a little separate spot near my target to use for ground balancing each time. Insert pinpointer, turn on, wait 3 seconds and then you are ready to go.🙂(otherwise in that soil, it just beeps on everything)
wow cool finds. my son loves metal detecting and is out visiting me in Fredericksburg Virginia. do you know of any good civil war spots to take him metal detecting in Fredericksburg. he has a Garrett ace 400 he just got. I've tried calling some public battlefields and all of the places I called said you cant metal detect here. any info on where to go please let me know. thx :)
More civil war battles where fought in Virginia (130) than any other state in the nation. This is part of history few know. Keep digging, keep finding.
I hope you saved the pull tab it was a very rare relic from the revolutionary war it was off a sweet tea can! The british had to have their tea time and they added sugar to boost the soldiers stamina. Lol all joking aside you are getting some great bucket list relics!
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!
I've found Union and Confederate Beerdaloons before. 🤣
I’m glad that you are back. A great way to wind down my Friday
I hope you enjoy this one.🙂💖🍀
@@LuckyGin great finds by everyone. I would have to be buried to dig a 3’ hole lol

Nice! The large flat buttons are 1780 and earlier. Love to find those. Congrats.
Thank you. It was my first time getting to find a dandy button. I’d found a couple small flat buttons before, but nothing like those.🙂🍀
Good video LG, with some cool and rare finds thanks for taking us along added a like and FB share too. Cheers.
Thanks so much my friend. It was definitely one of my more exciting hunts to date.🙂

you did alright getting two fuses. I would say it has been hammered over the years.
It’s been hunted many years, so I felt very fortunate to find them.🙂
looked like a fun hunt.
Good Luck, I'm pretty sure I've cleaned VA out since I started detecting in 1977 around Manassas, Winchester and Harpers Ferry areas.
Nice hunt thanks for sharing!!!!

Some nice fuses like the rebel time fuse
I was super excited to find those.🤩
As always it's been a pleasure
Thank you, Sidney.🙂
Great video Gin you had some nice finds.I enjoyed your video so much and good Luck to you.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Jimmy. I really had fun making this one.🤩🍀
Those are great finds, Gin. And good use of your shovel as a pogo stick! Lol.
A girl does what she must.😂🤣😂🙌
Thanks Gin.
I really DIGGED the video.
Those fuses are super cool! Great finds!
Thank you. If I’d realized how rare they were then I’d probably have been jumping with joy.🙂
That’s a lot of work filming those targets the way you do. I don’t have the patience for it. Great find on the fuse.
Awesome finds. This farm delivered unlike the last one.
Thanks for the Video Gin! Keep them coming and have a great Thanksgiving!!
Congrats on the finds Gin,looks like you had a lot of fun there...
Thank you! I sure did.🙂🍀
Interesting that finally no one frame has detonator fuses, just Lucky Gin's ))))

Congrats on the fuses. My wife and I were at DIV 53 also.
Thank you. I hope you both had as much fun as I did. It was a great experience.🙂
🍀 Lovely hunt🍀 way to button down on those finds! ⛏️⛏️⛏️
Thank you, Marc. It was an exciting hunt for sure.🙂🍀
Amazing relics! Awesome finds
Thank you!🙌🙂🍀
Look how pretty that field looks absolutely beautiful
Great event you went to again. Nice to see ya back into it. 😊 Now..if ya find a buffalo nickel or three ring old bullet...I call dibbs lol....❤️
Going out today to do a little metal detecting and hopes that I can find those beautiful eyes and that gorgeous smile this is Bobby I hope you have a blessed day good luck with your metal detecting
It was nice to meet you!!
That sure was some rough diggin wasn’t it!!
Great show very good dig keep the videos coming
Thanks so much, Keith. I appreciate you stopping by.🙂
I love those civil war sites. I was hoping you would get some three ringers or round balls. Now it's time to find an old colonial site in Virginia.
I'm a Tennessee boy and living in Germany with metal detecting stories from Roman to Medieval to WII times.
Mantap sobatku temuannya👍👍 salam 1 hobby dari Indonesia 🙏🙏
What, no pull tab in the display case 😁. Looks like fun!
Excellent job!!
Just got back from metal detecting in England, nothing to write home about. But returning next year to a field that Oliver Cromwell was camped in.
I would Love to search a site like that. Nice finds Gin.
It was really cool to have the opportunity to go. I hope sometime you’ll get to do it too.🙂🍀
I live in Virginia and we done some work in Buckingham county and some guys i worked with found what seemed to be some graves in a wooded area near the subdivision but never heard anything after they reported it. Don't know where you were looking.

Awesomeness! I Love Your Channel! Happy Thanksgiving Sugar!
Thank you, Tim.🥰🙌🍀
new sub, like your channel you are chill and look like you are having a good time.
Was nice to meet you! You made some great finds! Keep at it!
Some really cool finds! I always dig wide when I'm metal detecting. I'm always afraid I'm going to hit the target. 😃🥰
Great finds...

@@LuckyGin Thank you for the explanation young lady! Have a blessed Thanksgiving.
Very cool! That shell fragment and fuses were sweet!!!
Question: why do you stick the pin pointer in the slit in the dirt when you turn it on?
That is to ground balance the pin pointer so you don't get false signals.
Big Dandy buttons pre civil war period. Early 1800's and earlier possibly. Colonial style buttons
Great video, thanx!...a new subscriber!🤓🇺🇸
Very nice video and hunt 👍💯💯
