Mike and Sham could not make it back to hunt a new campsite that we found so Guy and I went back to the campsite that we have been hunting for quite some time and I had my best day there. I must have dug 30 shotgun hulls before lunch. By early afternoon Guy had already found several bullets and a couple buttons. I was getting hot and tired and was about to call it quits when I got another good signal. Thinking it was another shotgun hull I was suprised to see a very nice Eagle cuff button. Then just a few feet away from there I got another good signal. I hollered over to Guy that I finally got my first bullet of the day. I swept the hole and got another signal. Another bullet. Then I saw three or four bullets laying in the dirt that I removed. I just kept getting signals in that little two foot square area. Some were very faint and deep. In all I pulled out 18 three ringers and one fired or carved or just a piece of camp lead. Need to clean to find out. It is late and I am tired so I will clean later. The button is in great shape and has a solid shank. Since hunting DIV I have learned a lot on how to detect signals that I used to pass up. With the next DIV in March I am trying to get as much relic hunting in as I can before I go back to Culpeper Va to hunt that really hot soil. I am trying to hunt here as I do there which is really slow.

Really an awesome find.  Looks like some soldier spilled his pouch.  Are they all dropped?

Yes they are all drops. They were probably from a cartidge box or a soldier sat down and they fell out of his pouch. We have found several 2, 3 or 4 in a hole before but never this many. We are going to go back and dig a bigger hole and see if more are deeper.
