I have not posted in a couple of weeks, been waiting to find something different. Well today I found a rooster . I thought well thats new,LOL . I have found a few neat things over the last week or so . One thing was a lead plug that I guess is carved from a musket ball. It was probably used for a canteen or to keep dirt and water out of the musket barrel when not in use. I also found a worn coin that is pretty old and of course I can't read the date. The back says 1/2 K .The front has a bust on it and some lettering but it still needs some soaking. I hope I can clean it up a bit. I have been showing Viper771 my hunting spots since I am leaving in December. Yesterday he dug a grenade :o and some other stuff . May be I will make a few more finds before I have to leave. Hope all is well and HH. :)

you definately have some cool stuff :) I keep finding all the wire bits, explosives, and buried junk lol! I am going to have to try around where we live and up near landstuhl. I think the musket ball plug and the rooster are pretty unique :)
