Nice IHP, Any day I pull one of those is a great day. Last season I only found 1. This year I am mainly doing older permission properties and have pulled 13.

Nice to see you getting after it Voncle. Havent seen you around in a while.
Good job pulling silver and an indian. I love finding Indians, dug 3 this year down here in South MS, and wish i could find more.
That one piece of flattened lead looks like a fired bullet.
Sounds like you need to get back to that site soon, this weather we are having is really nice.

Cool its always nice when they aren't worn.
I think its a bullet. Reminds me a lot of one I found recently the same day I dug my last IHP.
At first I thought it might be a lead seal, but several ID'd it as a bullet.
Even looks like our pieces of leas have the same small hole/indentation on one side.
See link below

You might want to try a little mineral oil/olive oil soak on that IHP, it will really bring those details alive.

I'll have to pull out my 6" coil next to the front porch where I found it, alot of trash there. I usually hunt in all metal mode with 4 tones, find alot more since I started doing that.
