Living in the Southwest we don't get to many opportunities to hunt for Civil War relics.

While visiting relatives in the East, I took my metal detector with us.

I knew the home my relatives were living in was quite old. It was placed in Eastern Pennsylvania . The main structure was built nearby 1840's. The main house was three stories and it had 15 Bedrooms. Each bedroom had a Fireplace. I didn't quantum the house but I would evaluation it at 8,000 square feet. The current structure and land included a tennis court, large pool, and very large 3-story barn. All of this was setting on approximately 20 acres. The primary land and structures included 25 coke ovens, and a lead casting foundry.

One of my relatives said he understanding the whole doing made cannon balls and musket bullets for the North while the Civil War. After that criticism I started looking for ways to study the area.

Fortunately the house had some very old pictures mounted on the walls, which depicted how the structures looked many years ago. It helped pinpoint where primary structure were located.

I continued to study the location. I was able to acquired added information on the history of the old house at the local grocery store. Working at the check out counter was a gentleman in his mid 70's. Vern had lived in the area all his life. His Father, mom and Grand parents lived in the area all their lives. Vern validated the property I was researching was a
Canon Ball and Bullet foundry while the Civil War.

It was time to break out my metal detector.

Prior to searching nearby the house, barn and foundry, I wanted to test my detector on soil conditions. I was passing the detector over the gravel drive when it sounded off. The target
appeared large. I dug down about 6 inches. It turned out to be a melted piece of lead. The item weight about 2 lbs.

I proceeded to hunt the area for two days. I found many pieces of Lead, including a integrate of pieces that could have been Cannon Balls. We found a few older coins, but nothing in 1800's. By the barn we uncovered some old tools, parts of older Automobiles. Also found were horseshoes, and nails. The old foundry was gated and locked up so we could not hunt it.

This outing was a fun time. Knowing what era the structure were and confirmation on the Civil War factory made the study fun.

Remember your treasure hunting outings will be more fun and profitable if you do the research.
