EPIC Civil War Shell Found!! BOOM !!

[@terrybach4856]

Jesus H Christ Ron speaking of round balls you've got some giant ones made of steel. When you began assaulting that thing with your lesche you had me thinking kerblewie!!! And then perfectly timed the exploding inferno appeared on the screen and had me laughing out loud. Great discovery and video congrats! One other thing I miss seeing you at the Best Of The West Bottle Show in Auburn.

haha that made me laugh out loud for real!! Yeah that is not percussion fuse and with a paper fuse water has been in that thing for a long time but honestly i did not know that at the time. bang bang boom!! I knew these comments were coming but thought it was kinda funny after i watched it myself! Thanks for the view and the great comment!!

Ron, What a great piece of history you found. That sucker was deep! Nice job on making that shell presentable again. What a beauty. 👍

[@RonSwensonRelicAdventures]

Thanks Doug, appreciate the nice comment and view. I enjoy the preservation aspect of the hobby asd well. They certainly do look good in the display! Bragging rights to anyone that gets to see my displays!! But my arm gets tired patting myself on the back!! 😁

[@dougsnyder8963]

@ I’m sure your displays are amazing Ron. From Cali to Va, you are coast to coast. 👍 Looking forward to your next video.

[@davidallison2112]

You're a braver man than I am drilling that thing out by hand.

[@RonSwensonRelicAdventures]

Hey David. Thanks for stopping in and posting a comment. I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed!!😂. I did research and have visited with a long time shell guy so I didn’t go in blind.

[@dewey_digginnc4946]

Good video man.. awesome save

[@RonSwensonRelicAdventures]

Thanks Dewey!! Appreciate the view and the comment!!

[@craziedigging4590]

Hows it going Ron and Cameron. Congrats on all the Bullets. Ron the Hotchkiss Shell wow what a find. Congrats. Love the Hook alo Cameron. Ron Congrats on the Mercury Dime also. Isn't it crazy finding Bullets like that and you pop a Silver Coin hoping its the same time period and its way younger. Still a great find. Take Care Crazie Digging

[@RonSwensonRelicAdventures]

Great to see you CrazieD !! yeah those newer silver coins surrounded by civil war stuff is a bit of a let down in the moment. but I agree--still a cool find in itself!! Thanks for stopping by and posting up a comment!

[@scottchiaracagolddetecting8975]

Awesome

[@RonSwensonRelicAdventures]

Thanks Scott. Appreciate the view and comment. Hope all is well with you !!

[@scottchiaracagolddetecting8975]

@ going great, doing lots of exploring in early camps. A new camp every week.

[@markkus1134]

Great finds Ron I’m in Ct found a engineers button and a I confederate button once here in excellent condition

[@RonSwensonRelicAdventures]

Markkus --congrats on the E button--great score!! Also finding a Confederate button up there is a great accomplishment. Could have been a Civil War souvenir taken home by a Union Soldier. Appreciate the comment.

[@markkus1134]

@ thanks for the video keep finding

[@SuperColbyT]

Love the videos Ron! Just wondering what program you run the majority of the time? Look forward to the next, good luck!

[@RonSwensonRelicAdventures]

Thanks SuperCT--appreciate you stopping by and taking the time to post up a comment. I run a custom program built off the General program. just a few tweak and usually a 0-2 reactivity. I run 0 pretty often when just floating around. I do like full tones so that is my prefered audio. I'm pretty sure most of the stock programs would hear most of what i find but kind of nice you can customize to your liking. but the Deus 2 can get a bit complicated in the beginning.

[@heathforgey4410]

Great video. Just found your channel and subscribed. I'm still learning my deus 2. If you don't mind me asking what settings do you run on yours relic hunting? Thank you

[@RonSwensonRelicAdventures]

Hey Heath--glad you found my little hobby channel. I love the Deus 2 and I built a program using the General as the base program. I usually run reactivity low (0-1) when floating around and in heavy iron maybe 2 - 2.5 reactivity. I run discrimination wide open at -6.4 and use full tones with iron volume at 2 and audio response at 5. It can be a little noisy but I like to hear everything and let my ears do the discriminating. There are a lot of settings i didn't touch on but start with the general program- make a few tweaks. maybe someday I will just post a video of my settings. They are far from perfect but they work for me. Thanks or stopping in. I usually try to post a video a month if I am lucky!! Like I said just a little video channel and if people get a kick out of it then all the better.!! Do go check out the big nugget video and the coin spill video pretty EPIC
