relic caps

[tom in nc]

I wonder if it has been recorded that anyone has found a spent, dropped, or discarded percussion cap from the "old" days. I'm sure one cap would give a weak signal on a metal detector, but who knows? Just wondering.

I wonder if something like that would last for years in the outdoors. I suppose it would be a difficult item to find.

Civil War relic hunters find them often. I have a few on a display board. Cap tins can also be found.
