Well for me ... not common. :)
I have never found one...
Very cool though...
I would go back to exact same area and begin looking for the other half...
That is IF Casper can remember where It came from...

Me I have stuff in buckets that I go back through and all the time say to myself "what the"..."I don't remember this one"...
And further more have no clue where or when I found it.

Overnight ? why will it arrive just in time for the Civil War reenactment ?
OR
Just in time for annual powder shooting competition ?
OR...
Man I could do this for awhile...

Relative flying in for a lead melting competition and that is your "lucky" mold ?

:P

Three White's, one Fisher and a Minelab.....I'm beginning to wonder if I am a metal detectorist .....or a collector of metal detectors?

Funny funny:laughing7: But seriously how common a find is that?

50% common. Finding a whole one would be 100% uncommon? I dunno..... Its a math thing...
