I hit my site again today. It was a great day! The weather was perfect, it was relaxing and fun, and had some great finds.


I found 5 more wheaties today. One of them was 9 - 10 inches deep! It came in a little jumpy from CO 38 - 41. The pinpoint was almost impossible to find. It responded better to the disc mode than pinpoint mode. But 8 inches it was still in the bottom and came out in the next chunk so I can't be sure exactly how deep but at least 9!


I also dug another fired bullet. Not sure about the caliber, but it's fired and struck something. I'm beginning to wonder if a gun battle happened here.


I also found another IH, this on from 1902. I also dug a Buffalo nickle. I can see a 7 on the date, but that's it. And my last find of the day was a new first for me! I can't see a date but it's a shield nickle!!! :o


My first ever shield. So I broke my 14 hunt silver streak, but that's fine. Any day hunting is good, the finds are just icing on the cake.

Bullet looks like a 30 cal. Carbine. Very small bullets yet powerful for size. Surplus carbines were very popular in Okla. right after Korea. $19.95 and surplus ammo also cheap. Farmers and ranchers liked them because the were short, light, and would put down a coyote.
