And, "The Field Was Plowed" a continueing thrill-ogy ---

As many of you know, I've been steadily working a field situated along the Pergatory River and railroad tracks leading out of Trinidad, Colorado. Today has been a beautiful day; beginning with near freezing weather (33 degrees) early this morning. I arrived at the field at about 7:30 am; leaving at 12:30. The farmer has finished discing for the second time within the month. I thought I would find something worthwhile today as I was hunting in "True" All Metal Mode with an 18 inch shoe walking my SE! I guess Old Ron did a pretty good job before! I tried running back over an area I had already worked but only found 2 bullets and a golf ball! Lol! So, I meandered over to a far corner I had not worked. The pictures show my meager findings. The highlights, if any were actually the old pocket and butter knives. Don't let anyone tell you the Excelerator 18 incher can't find the small stuff. Just look at the little twenty two lead bullet and small copper washer. These are only two of numerous ones I was able to find.

Hey, believe me when I say, "I got it all!"
But, if the farmer is willing and you have the notion, come on down and see what you can find! :)

Enjoy my junk!

Hello my Friends!
Thanks for meandering through my relic garden! :)

Mrs. BootyBay!
We love finding that old stuff, don't we? :)
Finding an assortment of objects lets me know I'm doing a little something right and the machine is working properly.
Are you liking your X-70?

Plehbah!
Those bullets are quite old I would suspect. You're right also, the larger casing is 45-70. I believe the partial case to be either 32-20 or 32-40. Some of the bullets appear fired from a 45 caliber, 38-55, and 32-40. I was surprised I didn't find anymore minnie balls. The field's given up several before.

Hello Merf!
Thanks! I'm trying to compete with you!
You've been finding a lot of neat stuff yourself!

Cynangyl!
Typing out your screen name I finally silently pronounced it! Cool!
Thanks for commenting!
