Hey, got up about 7 this morning to fill the hunger I've had to dig all week.. I miss the colonial relics in VA, but there are plenty of CW finds here locally to keep me busy. :headbang:

Hey Jeff : Believe it or not MaineRelic Thats me ;D lived in Missouri for six years back in the 80's . I did a little bottle digging and even found a CW era counterfit silver dollar in a can I dug up there . To bad I was not metaldetecting at that time cause it looks like it can be quite productive by the looks of the nice finds you have been making out there ! Looking forward to you showing me some more of them show me state finds :icon_sunny: Best of luck ! M.R.

Nice Video Brutha. :icon_thumleft: :wink: Congrats on the Buttons, looks like you broke into a nice handful of 'um and the pinfire is a nice addition as well :headbang: The cut lead is

probably for buckshot loads; in his book, E. Porter Alexander regularly talked about having his stewart cut up thin squares of lead to use for killing game while in the camps to eat. I think

that the odd bullet out could be a Burnside but can't tell the exact diameter it is from the pic. Nice Digs man :occasion14:
