Relic Hunting Cold Harbor Artillery Trenches - What can be found 160 years later if you dig deep!

We spend the day digging in and around civil war trenches in historic Cold Harbor, Virginia -it was a really GOOD day! And to the young lady to which I gifted some relics: Virginia, You can watch me dig the bullet I gave you at 5:10 and the shell fragment at 9:53. I hope you enjoy them! Special thanks to my digging partner for the day Jake Murdock @carolinametaldetecting #metaldetecting #relichunting #civilwar

WHAT AN AWESOME HUNT!!

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

Thank you Jerimy! This one was a refreshing adventure amid some sparse days lately!

[@janetwilliams]

Mom really enjoyed this video! She loves when you hunt Cold Harbor. She wishes we still owned the house on Cold Harbor, & she would let you dig there! Thanks for making great, interesting & informative videos!! We’ll keep watching 😊

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

I wish she still owned some Cold Harbor property too!!!!! I am so humbled that your Mom enjoys these things. I wish my dad was still here (If he could be healthy!) because I would love to discuss my finds with him. I think he'd be shocked that there was anything left to find. My love to your mom, my appreciation for her support, and my very best to you and your fam. Please tell Nancy I'm eating lunch tomorrow with a very old mutual friend. DUANE!!

[@willroberts6777]

Amazing finds and another awesome video, the history lessons learned here are priceless.

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

Thanks Donald. Dropping one now - Incredible story and relics. Check it out in about 15 minutes!

[@edmc1000]

Great find on the cannon fuse adapter. Excellent video quality. I could almost smell the Virginia woods. Thanks for taking us along.

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

Hey man, THANK YOU. It was a cool day because of the variety and the new friend I made! Have a great week...

[@randyhillyard277]

love the videos

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

I really appreciate that Randy. Thank you!

[@Edwardnarby92]

Really enjoyed you video! Thank you very much for sharing! Particularly enjoyed your 2 paper fuses plus the description at the end. Best wishes from Republic of Mauritius!

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

Wow. I''m honored that you''d be watching Edward! Thank you for the kind words!

[@raydunhill5160]

Great hunt as usual Sir!! Outstanding!! Love these vids! Thank you and have a prosperous New Year!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

Appreciate it Ray! Same to you my friend!

[@thurin84]

that was a good day!

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

No lie. I feel VERY fortunate to hunt sites like this . . .

[@Lesbodoggofest]

Wow I’m needing this day in my week

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

I need one in about EVERY week . . . !

[@minermikesouthernusa4017]

My GG Grandpa fought with the 51st NC and was wounded in Cold Harbor 1864 , 👍🏻

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

Just WOW Mike. I know Jake will be intrigued to read this. How strange to think that your ancestor might have heard one of the shells go off, of which we found frags, caseshot or fuse . . .

[@joemiller8965]

Great video as always my friend! The explanation about the fuses was great too! Y’all found some incredible relics! Congrats to both of you and thanks for sharing!

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

Joe, your encouragement is truly appreciated! I owe this success to my host, Jake Murdock @Carolinametaldetecting

[@joemiller8965]

@@thebattlefieldwalker2841 Thanks, I’m subscribed to Jake as well. Good luck next time out, wherever y’all may be.

My great x2 grandfather Ephraim Bates fought in Cold Harbor for the Union. NY 8th Heavy Artillery Co F. But they fought as infantry. He was wounded in Cold Harbor June 3rd and again in June 20 or 21 I believe. Altogether in the civil war he was wounded 4 times, loosing and eye, a finger, shot in the neck by a mini ball (dug out of his neck with a jackknife in the battlefield) and shot in the abdomen and he carried that bullet in him until he died in his mid 70’s in Minnesota as a homesteader on a civil war pension. He’s buried in Randall Minnesota. It is my dream and bucket list to visit the battlefields of cold harbor, Siege of Petersburg, and Appomattox Courthouse. A bonus dream to ever search and metal detect relicts, I’d probably choke up on my first civil war find. Someday I’ll make the trip there from Alaska where I live. I love your channel and content Sir. Thank you for sharing

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

If you ever make it to central Virginia, look me up! I am wowed by your ancestory and how much you know about them. That's cooler than anything I find, mostly nameless.

[@mikesabota2570]

Nice finds!!..went to HS with a couple of brothers that had family that owned a farm there that was used as a dressing station and recovery area..lots of stuff left behind that they kept up through the years..that stuff was incredible.. can't remember the name..if I happen to come across it,Ill post it..maybe you know them haven grown up in the area...

[@dewey_digginnc4946]

Awesome saves and relics. Keep up the videos. What's your setting on the deus

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

Dewey, I'm afraid I'm technologically challenged and pretty boring. When I'm in a very trashy site, I hunt graph or hot sifter. But on battlefields, like this hunt, I just hunt straight "deep" all the way and listen for the whispers.The grapeshot and fuse were only feint chirps . . . but if I'm in a trench, a feint mouse-whisper is music to my ears!

[@SMaamri78]

Your number of subscribers have more than doubled since I subscribed. Hope that continues for you. You have a great and very informative channel. Thanks!

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

I really appreciate your early subscription SKB, and your good wishes! Your encouragement is very gratifying!

[@TheRelicPosse]

We love your channel!! Nice finds! Quick question...a couple of us on our channel use the Deus as well. What program were you in to hit on those deep bullets?

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

I'm not an innovator at all dude. Technologically ignorant. When I'm on a battlefield without a ton of trash, I am simply on the "Deep" program. I do use the largest Deus head which does make a difference. At least a couple inches, maybe more, deeper. And in trenches like these, I dig every WHISPER of a repeatable signal. That's the ticket. I'm honored that you are enjoying this stuff. Thank you sincerely, for the compliment!

[@jakemurdock89]

What a great day! We need go back there soon.

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

Some of us are ready to drive to Cold Harbor TODAY . . .

[@jerrydineen2827]

Your videos never disappoint me Walker. Those trenches are pristine like they were just dug. That fuze looks like new!

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

Thank you for that Jerry! And I can't take credit for the wonderful opportunity to hunt those pristine trenches and to have a fuse that looks new! Every time I hunt, I realize I'm super-fortunate to simply BE there on those awesome spots!

[@jackburgess9482]

I love your videos, especially the relics you show at the end of the episodes. Keep them coming!!

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

I truly appreciate that Jack. This was a fun hunt!

[@louiezenti8631]

You guys killed it! Great finds…congrats!

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

Louie, I am indebted to Jake who invited me to his permission!

[@jasonduggan2903]

That’s what’s up Yo! Never seen a fuse or knew how all the stuff worked, love how you alway explain for the “confused”! Sweet trenches, what an experience to be able to hunt that. That guy Murdock is a battlefield runner! Great video! Keep walking and digging Yo!

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

I always look forward to your comments, Beachwalker! If you ever see Jake's instagram, @carolinametaldetecting you'll see some fast digging, and swinging a detector at a dead run!

[@davidallison2112]

Absolutely incredible what you fellas up in Virginia can find! Incredible that sites like this still exist at a major battlefield. Happy for you!

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

Thanks David. Conservation groups have bought up a large portion of the Battlefields. Our time is very limited! I know I'm fortunate to still hunt these spots.

[@sagehawk6316]

Again, excellent hunt and finds. Always like the chats at the end.

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

Thanks a lot Sage. I feel like I've gotten to know some of the "regulars" here like you!

[@willroberts6777]

Amazing finds and another awesome video, the history lessons learned here are priceless.

[@thebattlefieldwalker2841]

Will, that's high praise and I sure do appreciate it!
