Managed to get out for a brief period though the conditions were not in my favor. Still, even in the hardest of hit areas, there are targets to dig.
I managed 7 musket balls (.54 & .70 balls) and a handful of smaller caliber shot from .40 to pellet. Just as I was leaving I managed into a hole that is filled with .40 shot with very crude sprue marks. I bet there are dozens if not closed to a hundred there and I will certainly go back to get them at some point. On an earlier trip my buddy Beau found one filled with .36 shot as well and I have since found another with a pile of small shot...this place is loaded with lead.
Not just lead in for firearms, but lead sheathing and weights. Notice this lead sheath with square nail holes, all for flushing for early ship construction.
The better finds of the day were the two early buttons, buckle pieces and the crude and early brass needle. This is the second from this site now.
Not bad for a quick 2 or 3 hours in poor conditions.
