Backyard Finds

[Rookiebob]

This is a lot of the stuff I had been finding in my own backyard. I found out that this property dates back to the middle of the 19th Century so I though I'd give it a go with my Whites Quantum XT. The very first hit I got was a 1916-D penny at about 4 inches. From that point and for the next couple days, I had been running on adrenaline. The majority of the finds were not dateable but I was able to get a couple shotgun shell brass that I was able to look up and found that it was manufactured about the turn of the century till about 1903. Now it looks like someone was out in the backyard squirrel hunting about 100 years ago. I have a lot of junk but the good news is that it's old junk! Somewhere out there in my own backyard is a treasure and all I have to do is keep plugging at it until I find it

Cool finds... I have also found a couple of old shotgun shell butts that date somewhere before 1911, when UMCCo was bought by Remington and changed to REM-UMC....here they are!!

I found the Nitro Club butt in a city park at about 5 inches, and I found the New Club butt in the woods at a state park around here, I was pretty happy with them when I found out how old they are!!
