Went to Bust Island and it wasn’t given it up today. Large coil small coil didn’t matter. I did manage a .58 musket ball, 3 wheats a stainless steel spoon from Korea, flat button and a something. The lady had horses way back when. Hope it’s old. That that that that’s all folks!!! IMG_0012.JPG IMG_0012.JPG IMG_0012.JPG IMG_0012.JPG IMG_0012.JPG

58 round ball likely CW era ...most modern 58 cal blackpowder shooters use conical nosed type minie type bullets for hunting / target shooting -- because their much better than round ball

Are you talking about these? I’ve found these two there too. And this one. IMG_0012.JPG IMG_0012.JPG
