1-14-07 Finds

[LJ]

Went out today....found the usual clad....3 wheats, 44, 51 & 57. I also found an old hoe about 7" deep...which I was glad when it was finally out of the ground.....phew and a horseshoe.

I also dug up a bullet that I am not sure what size it is. My brother thought it might be a 50 caliber bullet. It is pretty big....heavy also. Any thoughts on it??

Here is the bullet....hoe and horseshoe.

Nice to find some wheat pennies too. Reassures you are hunting in the right spot.

That bullet - I found a bunch of those in New Mexico on the White Sands Missile Range. All over the place out there.

You can hang that horshoe upside down for good luck.

Keep it up.

I believe the bullet to be a fired 50 caliber machine gun bullet. You can see the grooves on the bullet that were made by the lands in the rifled barrel it was fired from. I also have one that I found while metal detecting.

It is about 24 quarters. Three in one hole. I dug all day long too. I am sore as can be....lol.

The bullet looks like a modern .50 BMG (British Machine Gun) it is the standard 50 caliber round used today by our army and what not. Still its pretty neat find, I have a couple I picked up at a gun show cause I thought they made neat paper wieghts.

Wow, nice finds, love the horseshoe. Now you need to find a Mule Shoe. LOL

The bullet looks like a 30 or 50 Caliber. But modern I doubt it, who the heck is firing a bullet like that around your area?

You know...when I dug that horse up up I really thought about the muleshoe thing....good memory Ringfinder...lol. I wondered to myself....horseshoe or muleshoe??

I thought the same thing....what is a round like that doing in a park area?? Scary huh?

Great Clad count, I once found 5 quarters in a hole(I love when that happens)
I always wonder about that bullet thing, I find them everywhere, Gone astray I reckon, certainly not pocket drop.
