There's folks that would give their left foot to detect a piece of ground like that! Don't ever take it for granted, it has and will pay you very well for your persistence

Actually this is just a small amount that I dug within maybe 3 years.
The axe had iron in it, and I almost ignored it. Glad that I didn't.
I have well over 400 bullets.
