I finally got me a cannister shot after watching numerous folks dig them out of one site. I took Nimrod there a couple months ago and he dug one. I took some folks there Saturday too. We got a fella's daughter her first bullets, and one of the guys got a cannister ball. I wanted one so bad...and was finally able to get one. The grass there is ready to be mowed for hay, and it was REALLY hard hunting. We were forced to hunt little spots. But now I know what cannister sounds like on my detector so when they mow I'm going back for more.
Everyone's finds for the day...a few bullets, cannister balls, misc cavalry stuff that came out of a small camp I found.
I took my wife last weekend to a little spot I found and she got her first two buttons.
And had a bust trip to Virginia. We hunted what was suppose to be a big camp near Fredericksburg. 250 relic hunters. 600 acres. Three days hunting. And I think maybe 30 people found a bullet or more. I didn't find anything but a buckshot ball. 9 hr drive one way, $200 entry fee for the hunt, plus gas cost and motel expense and eats. And one stupid bucky ball. We came home and hit a spot 10 minutes from the house and that's where Carrie got her 2 buttons.
