Now we all know metal detecting on Federally Protected Ground is against the law. That just leaves one thing, do your research, talk to folks in that area, visit courthouses in that area. R&I aka Research and Investigation which I have linked to that will help you get permissions aswell. The rest of the story is, even if the caretakers allow you to dig and you agree to put all recoveries in their museum. DON’T DO IT! Federal Gov’t says NO DIGGING OF ANY KIND. The only way you can is get permission from FEDERAL COURT. However here’s what you can do, knock on doors adjacent to the battleground. Don’t be surprised to get a “NO” because these property owners are bugged to tears from folks trying to get permission. So if you really want to discover how Civil War Relics Map work, keep digging.
Preserve That Civil War Relics Map Here’s How
Folks before you ever buy that detector, make a commitment to yourself that you will do everything in your power to save it for future generations to enjoy. Allow me to take you on a step by step process that i use. Now I’m not saying my way is perfect but it works for me. I have actually perfected tumbling so I can save you some heartache. First and foremost one must ask the question, can this piece survive restoration. If so, here we go.
1. DON’T USE A WIRE BRUSH gently use a (wore out) soft-tip toothbrush 2. Tumbler, Aquarium Rocks, Vinegar, Hot Sauce, Clean tumbler out good 3. Your first tumble should be ONLY for 30 minutes to remove dirt/ debris 4. Second tumble will be until foam begins to buildup about 1 hour or so
5. If your like me, wore out your barrel you can use a peanut butter jar 6. Just know that you’ll have to use Two-sided tape so it doesn’t slip 7. Once all the rust is free from piece let it set if rust comes back tumble it 8. Before the piece dries use a Dremel Motor Tool on med speed wood bit 9. You can shape the sides and edges but don’t use it to remove rust
10. Now is the final tumble for about an hour but add a piece of silver w it 11. Now use a can of Sta-bil Rust Stopper (ONLY) I’ve tried the others Don’t 12. Coat the piece let set for 1 hour add another coat wipe away the excess 13. Let piece dry completely as can be as you are using a petroleum 14. Finally your ready to apply Two coats Polyurethane Spray Can lightly 15. As far as the pitting leave it after-all it came out of the ground
