These finds are from Monday, Friday and Saturday. My cousin and i went out monday and battled the snow storm while still digging bullets. I ended up with 5 that day 2 burnsides, 2 colts, and a spencer. On Friday we went to the woods on the corner of the property where my cousin was finding alot of bullets and where he found his calvary button last year. 30 minutes into the hunt i came acrossed a real jumpy signal, i pinpointed and it was everywhere so i kicked the leaves away and there was little pieces of iron strips everywhere. I used the pro pinpointer and cleaned up all the little iron strips and ran the ace 250 over the spot again and now i was getting a good signal 4 inches down. so i dug and out popped a spencer bullet, i used the pro pinpointer to check the hole and found a cartrigde rim, then a another spencer bullet! So i move about 30 feet from that spot and same thing more little iron pieces, so cleaned it up, dug the hole and out pops the whole Spencer cartridge :hello2: I couldnt believe my eyes. I thought i would never find one, now im holding it in my hand! So on Saturday we hit that spot again, and found a burnside and 3 spencers one was very chewed. My cousin found his first silver a 1897 Barber, congrats to him! :headbang:
Thanks for looking.

Hunting in those woods is paying off for us. I'm just gonna dig everything and clean out all the trash. Then really get to the good stuff. It's a very trashy area...probably a dumpsite and an old homesite too I'm sure. Can't wait to see what's next! Good finds and welcome to the club! lol

I wonder why all the bullets are so crusty and brown? the one spencer looked like it was burned, it was almost black on one side. :dontknow:

Yeah the soil in the woods leaves a crusty shell of dirty on the bullets that's hard to get off.
