Was just going through some metal detecting junk on my work bench and picked up a couple of different caliber bullets. One looked like a 45 cartridge. When I picked it up I heard a little noise inside. Normally I don't play with live ammo dug out of the ground. This just seemed different. I picked it up and tried twisting the bullet. It opened and low and behold, dice! I think this is such a cool find. If banner finds don't have to be extremely valuable this is one.

Very cool.
Amazing what people will do to conceal illegal gambling?? I remember how dice were confiscated, if found on your person, or during a locker inspection, back in my navy days.
Fun find Don.

I wonder if military people had to hide the dice because gambling was agents the rules in a militarily camp? Good hiding place.

Started with a Garrett. I think I've probably tried everything make and model from 1977, all the way to the up to the E-trac and GPX 4800.
Nothing new as for me now, I am pretty much handicapped.
