Yep Gary, they are underground with the relics now.

Your little ordnance prank made me jump out of my skin. I grew up in Vicksburg, MS a mere 20 Yards from the border of National Civil War Military Park. We, primarily my two older brothers, used to walk the creeks (off park property) and find all kinds of stuff including ordnances. Momma and Daddy wouldn't let us keep in the house as what you related regarding danger was commonly known. Pretty sure there where construction permit stipulations that if "something" was discovered it had to been inspected by a park historian to determine its status. At 62, my collection is NO WHERE like this gentleman's! Great video series.

PS forgot to say I love the videos. It is fun to see you guys going through an old time digger collection. It reminds me of some of the old collections I saw back in the day. You have to tell your friend to relax a little bit when it comes to those shells. Yes some of them are still “live” but they did not detonate when they were fired, they did not detonate when they were dug, they did not detonate in the trunk of the car coming back from the dig and they did not detonate in that hot room. The odds of any of them spontaneously detonating now are very, very, very remote. The most dangerous time around them now is when they are getting drilled for deactivation. You did the right thing though when you unscrewed the anvil cap on the one shell. If you can get that cap off you can pull the percussion cap off the slider nipple and the fuze is deactivated.

@thebattlefieldwalker2841

Жыл бұрын

Agreed 100% Hoarder. I know of only three ways guys have died with CW ordnance: (1) Botched attempt to drill or deactivate (2) One guy dug one in the black muck of a swamp and he put it on his woodstove to "dry it out." And forgot about it.... (3) In the 60s in Mississippi a guy was walking in a heavy wind and an unknown 24# cannonball was dislodged from a treetop where it had been for 100 years. It fell out of the tree, hit him smack on top of the head and killed him instantly.

You guys are so lucky to see and handle all that.

Oddly, I haven't seen anything medical yet Amy!

When you get all this stuff set up in some sort of presentable format, it would be fun to see if Mythbusters/KZread - Tested’s Adam Savage would like to come and take a look at it all with you. He loves this sort of stuff!

That's just awesome, unfortunately there is no civil war relics up here by lake Erie so I collect Indian artifacts
