A Barber, Bullets, and a Wheatie

[Merf]

It was 45 degrees today so I did a four hour hunt. I only found two coins but one was this 1901 Barber quarter.
I also found this 1940 wheatie and several old shell and bullet casings.
Good hunting to all.

I checked at those links and the oldest casing is a UMC 1867 to 1911

Merf,

Way to go. I noticed the picture shows your plug from a leaf covered area, maybe a forest. Do you use that plugger in grass? If so how does it do? Any problems? Dead spots?

Very nice!

Ed, I use it in grass as long as it is not too dry. It might cause just a little bit of brown grass at the edge of the plug but not really noticible. I put the plug back in the hole and then push it down with my foot.
