I finally have gotten the time to post the pics of my hunt from Sunday. My girl actually "asked" to go with me so I said "Sure babe" and I gave her my backup. She actually said she had a blast diggin around in the dirt. Went to some of the Confederate defensive positions that I know and also a newly cleared lot across from the Battle of Burnt Chimneys and was able to come up with a few keepers. Found a couple of nice pieces of a 6lber (have done electrolysis for pics) that still had the threads in it where the cannonball would have received the Bormann fuse. Also found another part of a Bormann fuse, and you can see roughly how it would have looked. This is the second piece of Bormann fuse that I have found, the first was with a whole 12lber that was fractured in the ground but otherwise whole. I dont think the two pieces of shrapnel are from the same cannonball but that is roughly how the opening of the cannonball looked. Also, there were a good number of musketballs in this area and the chic was even able to find a couple. She also was able to find that DEEP iron that I could NOT persuade her against diggin (you know women can be hard headed sometimes ) Sooooo, even though I don't like showing this kind of "stuff" in my posts....at the request-demand of my girl...the pic of the big iron "circle" is hers. It almost looks like the iron used to "ring" barrels but to me it looks too thick for that She also included the screw tops that she had dug. I was glad to get this dig in as I had been sick the prior weekend and was not able to hunt.It was a fair day. Ill take it. Hope yall like
