2007 and diggin, could be D. Crockett's himself!!
Finally got out
this afternoon with krazyglue (Pat) to a researched site in the OFF season. Old boyscout camp was closed in 1967 due to high tension power lines going in. There was 8 cabins, and a mess hall. Anyways as far as I know I think the camp started in the 30's or so. Found some evidence of the camp by way of old pane glass pieces, a small section of lead gutter and some foundation pieces. I am fired up to spend some time there this season!!! We didn't come away with much, KGlue had some shells and bullets, no coins. And I found a broken, new keychain caribeaner thing, a bottel top, and my first musket ball, no coins 
. But hope is not lost on this site!!
We were alittle excited as the ground was still frozen, 3in crust. Maybe in a couple of weeks with the help of the MD gods we will be thawed and drained.
Trampsing through mud then snow, then mud for a few hours between rain showers was a tough road to hoe. The only good find was the musket ball and trying to figure out if the thing is old or not. We really don't get hold relics up here like the folks down south so I have a hard time believing it is of much age. Also it isn't white like the ones down south. Looks to me like 50 cal or so.
Now for the pics.
The goods, including the musket ball thing.
Close up on the musket ball.
Size reference
The treasure hunting dogs in action!!! GO GEM EM BOYS!!
The 2 labs are mine and white dog is the in laws.
HH, 1st time of 2007 felt great!!! This is my year! Can not wait to get out more, any help with the ball is great and in advance thanks. Keep them post flying!!
