Awesome guys!!!
I did have to smile when someone mentioned "lunch." When you're digging relics, lunch isn't taken until 9-10 p.m. If then. Digging since 1976. But enjoyed it. :)

The chain may be part of a curb bit chain used on cavalry , dragoon or artillery bridle . Good dig .

Thanks for the suggestion. We actually discovered what it was. It’s to small to be a curb chain. It’s actually a Cape chain. Thanks for watching. God bless. JP
That is absolutely crazy!!! The amount of Civil War bullets you guys found was absolutely amazing!!! What an amazing hunt!!! Crazy Crazy Crazy!!! That was a once in a lifetime hunt!!! God Bless!!!

We have definitely been blessed with wonderful permissions over the years. In many cases we bring an extra detector with us to have the property owner detect their own property. They enjoy it and it builds a lasting bond that makes them wanting you there more just so they can detect with you. Just a suggestion if you have an extra detector take it with you and offer it up. It helps. God Bless. -JP Hunts

Never dig a circle plug. Cut about 75% of it leaving some roots in tack. Flip plug leaving one corner connected. Then dig out target and flip plug back into place. This helps not make a dead spot in the grass.

@@masondixondiggers also the target in the side wall he missed in plug. Use pinpointed first to see if it can detect it. I’ve been off inches with my Fisher F-75… just turn on to max setting and lower it by pushing button once and sensitivity on Pinpointer will drop to level two. Do it again level one… when turned off then back on it will be back at level three for detecting before you dig up plug and miss it or hit it. This technique mainly helps you not hit the target.
Digging up all those bullets, brings a little different meaning to the old saying, "Get the lead out".

I may catch some flack for saying this but you guys need to lease that property if you can. Clearly you have found a fairly virgin spot that is going to require many, many, visits to properly dig as much as you can save. Unless you are a close friend of the owner or relative, how many times are you going to be welcomed back? Sometimes you can get very lucky with a door knock and possibly compensate the owner with work around the farm etc. But I have seen it happen to me as well as others who have found some nice stuff only to be told after a few visits, "It is getting too much, we like our privacy". I am not saying this will happen to you but it does happen. A lease is a "win-win" for both parties. The landowner gets compensated and you and your friends have unlimited access to the property. The deer hunting community has been leasing hunting land forever and that arrangement seems to be beneficial for all parties. I had a successful lease with a farmer for 12 years and it was a "win-win" for both parties.
So glad to see you posting again. Hope all has been well with you. Great finds today to bring back to light. looking forward to your next hunt.

Congratulations That would have been north of boonsboro. Towards Funkstown. I only know of 1 area that would be a unhiunted camp. That would be an old brick historical home property near cool holllow rd. They never let anyone hunt.
New subscriber from SE MN here. Jealous of the items you guys get to dig there. We have old in MN, but not that old. I did recently dig a Civil War era bullet at a seeded hunt though. LOL. Looking forward to following your adventures. "Every item found has a story to tell. Sometimes it just takes a little digging to figure out what that story is." Jim Parry, Backroads Metal Detecting

Would die to dig in a civil war area!
if you had ash in the hole it could have been a trash pit, you need to dig deeper because they can go down 4 feet, 3 foot wide and about 6 feet long. that plate may be deeper along with bottles and all sorts of good things
I would love to see the finds compared to an image of the object in like a display from a museum or something.
Y’all are going to have to get those bullets out of the way in order to hear the deeper stuff.

@@masondixondiggers I am going to Maryland next year to look for civil war relics and post that on my KZread Channel.
There is an untouched confederate calvery camp on Fort A.P.Hill. but because of its location it will never be hunted. And it is a winter camp. Absolute shame.
I know those tent tighteners are supposed to be post war but I have found quite a few and all in Civil War camps, just makes you wonder...

Right. Not that many buttons this time. It might of been because we were focused on the high tone targets in hopes of finding a plate or brass items. It got to the point that we started passing up bullets to find the high tone brass. Thanks for watching and commenting. God bless. JP

The cavalry leather sling belt had a buckle to adjust the length of the carbine sling to the size need by the cavalryman. The batwing was a metal piece attached on the tongue/tip on the end of the leather belt. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching the videos. God bless. -JP Hunts.
