I was out with my husband today walking a creek bank in search of arrowheads and I found this in the bank instead. It looks like a .58 cal. 3-ringer to me, what do you think?? Keep in mind, I was not metal detecting and when I first saw it I thought it was a piece of poo!!

That is what she looks like from here. Nice eye ball find I would go back with a metal detector and do a little research. Welcome to T-Net. Good luck!

Nice find... And agree with the others, I would get back out there with the detector. Hope to see some more of your finds!

Congrats on the three ringer! I wish there were CW era artifacts to find in my neck of the woods. If you have access to a tector, you need to get it out there.
