Tony and I continued our quest to get on new ground every hunt and today we got on to a decent older site...which unfortunately had been hunted before us. Undaunted we spent a few hours there and I pretty much got skunked. I got the 41 silver dime and the two moderns pennies and a lot of scrap not shown. Tony fared a little better but we still left feeling a little disappointed. We decided to finish the day at one of our old favorites...after digging Tony's truck out of a soupy bog...and that's where I got my one and only decent target. It's only the second wax seal that I've found in 12 years so I was quite pleased with that! Looking forward to next weekend.

Hmmm...this looks like a serpent side plate (brass) from a musket!!!!

That's what I originally thought but the side plates I've seen online were more 3 dimensional...

That is one foxy ring! Congratulations.

Out of curiosity, what is the beat up little coin on your pinky/ring finger?

Eh...there were numerous designs of the side plates and I am fairly certain that you found one of them. The Northwest Trade rifle had a very unique design but there were many other manufacturers that made a similar side plate. Solid work!
