Looks like 2008 has been a Blast for you--a BIG congrats on your Fine button recoveries, and of course the beautiful, CW silver.   8)
Good to see a post as fine as this one.  There's nothing like a box of different calibers of CW bullets that is OVERFLOWING. 
Now get on that electrolysis, brother.  It'll be Spring Window again before you know it.
Best Wishes to you for 2009  (and if you hunt any more in '08, we'll forgive ya for not posting it all here.   )

Best Wishes,

Thank's Hutch,the MXT is a very good machine.....Stopped by the clover field on the way out this evening (couldn't resist)......Guess I'm back in the saddle again....One lonely "ball"......Happy Holiday's to You and Your's.....Need to get together and Hunt next year.Take Care.
Awesome finds,just curious it's hard to tell from the one pic,but the camp lead could this have been possibly a carved toy cannon that a soldier made and it exploded from gun powder.I have seen something like that before and thought i would ask.
nice job on detecting! Love all the silver and civil war relics!
Anyone can make life interesting you just have to go out there and do things instead of sitting on your butt doing nothing. Second quote: Life is about trying new things not just standing around.
