On October 1, 2010, I was civil war relic hunting with my newly acquired GPX-4500 on a site near the battlefield of the Battle of Cedar Creek in Virginia. The grass in the pasture field where I was hunting was quite tall but it did not deter the Minelab. I had already found quite a few .58 caliber three ringer Minie' bullets when I got a good solid signal. After digging down eighteen inches, I recovered a U.S. boxplate and after the excitement of that find wore off, I began to hunt again. Approximately twenty minutes later and within twenty-five feet of the boxplate find, I got another solid signal. Digging down approximately twenty inches, I spotted the socket end of an Enfield rifle bayonet. It took quite a while to excavate the complete bayonet but it was well worth the effort. Both of these digs were in a field that I had previously hunted with two other brands of metal detectors but they apparently could not detect these relics at the depths that the Minelab easily found. It was quite an exciting day of hunting and convinced me that I now was the owner of an extraordinary detector that makes so called hunted out areas into exciting new places to metal detect.
