Some nice finds Richard. The Hotchkiss came out looking good. Very enjoyable video. WTG, Q.

BTE- The pot scraper looks a lot like part of a currycomb.

Thanks Q. Could be right on the pot scraper. Rob Langdon leaned toward the pot scraper - hard to say for sure. Thanks for looking!

What was left was pretty well soaked, I believe. This one could be seen as it was only partly buried in shallow water. I've also found bullets just lying on the bottom of the river in plain sight. Amazing.
