just got back from a week long fishing trip to canada yesterday. it was damp this morning but had the day off so wanted to hunt a bit.. out there for maybe 45 minutes had another goofy hit 11-43 but again only got it one way and nulled out the other.. not near as pretty as my last one but a few years older.. 154 years old... i am so pumped!!

I was thinking about stopping by this weekend with the bobcat, why not go back up north fishing for a few days.....

Nice find!

Re: Another Seated Quarter In My Lawn [1857]!! UPDATED with another whatizit

just pulled this creepy whatizit up within 4 feet of this quarter about 7+ inches down (she was deep below a root). If I had to guess it weighs in around ten ounces. I have no idea what it is but looks like a kid with a smoke in his mouth (which may have been there at one point in time). Weird thing is the threaded bolt sticking out the top of its head. May post this in whatizit forum as well for a positive id..

Very cool finds!! Wish I was there.

Thanks Mark! Thats the second one from my lawn. Nothing much exciting since then other than last night I was goofing around and found a UMC Union Shotgun shell (UMC produced shells from 1867-1911, then merged with remington).

Thanks again for the help with that Ace250 for my project Mark!
