Did’ja ever wonder what those people out there with the metal detectors are doing?

Well, if they’re the folks in this book they’re preserving history and having fun. Through the work of author Butch Holcombe and illustrator Glenn Watkins, enjoy this collection of true stories and adventures of the Civil War Relic Hunter, that peculiar breed found wherever the Civil War was fought…and sometimes even where it wasn’t. Experience, for the first time in writing, the thrill of dodging bees to find bullets, bobbing in poison oak for buttons, and cheating fate to dig yet one more square nail. Learn the lingo, the etiquette, and the methods surrounding this fascinating hobby, and have a good laugh while doing it. As Butch says in the book "…No, war is not funny. History Preservation is not funny. People are funny. Relic hunters can be hilarious…”
