- This is one of those permissions that only comes along on the rarest of occasions! In this episode, I'm detecting at the site of an original Civil War fort that changed hands multiple times during the war. It is privately owned land, and I am here with permission. Some of you will likely guess the area, but please do not put it in the comments. I will have to delete them if you do out of respect for the landowner. Hope y'all enjoy, and thanks as always for watching!

Never get tired of anything civil war!!!
Nice hunt, I always give land owners items if they want them. Good job.
From an old relic hunter. My place was NorthAnna battlefield along the North Anna River, VA. I see that the hill on the river bank is steep. With that being said, figure out a way to hunt the side bank. There are relics there. I found lots of relics for my efforts on the banks of the North Anna River. Keep us old-timers in your travels. Good luck. There may be a plate in there. Maybe confederate !
Appreciate the advice! And thanks for watching 👍🏼
Loved your video. I found ten sixty nine in a Union camp here in East Tennessee, using Garrett's ADS7 with a twelve inch coil and all ten were 8 to 10 inches.
Bro!!! Im a teacher, last day of school is Thursday, you obviously need help digging all that lead, I can be there late Thursday night!!
I wish we had that kind of history here.
Australia has some amazing cultural aboriginal history. But little in the way of European stuff.
None the less. Great show
Appreciate you watching! I guess I sort of think along the same lines about England or other parts of Europe. Old, old stuff there that we just don't have in the US.
That's a once-in-a-lifetime pair of permissions! In time you'll be able to assemble a remarkable collection from that fort. Combined with documentary research, it could make an extraordinary article.
Has to be very interesting just to walk over grounds like that, much less get to unearth those finds! Great job.
Absolutely. Thanks, Kenneth.
Very nice.
Awesome finds! Congrats JP!
Screw holes on the spur. That one the soldier screwed onto the heel of his boot.
Nice work! Once in a lifetime opportunity for sure.
Can't wait to see a follow up finding iron pieces.
Sweet spot for sure, I for one never get tired of bullets. Kenny
Very Cool finds from a Historic Location. Thank You for posting
Thanks for watching!

We enjoyed watching!!
Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!
Awsome location!
Gotta be some buckles and box plates in there somewhere
Awesome
I found a complete spur like that from civil war in Leavenworth Kansas.
Nice!!
