1-23-09 Missouri Civil War finds, and a couple of firsts! Tsgman

[tsgman]

We had a fun hunt yesterday. We dug a few bullets and Pat dug his very first and second ever bullets! Congrats to him, he has picked up relic hunting like a Duck in water! I dug a lead bar that had W.C. Co'S stamped on it. It looks really old and is from the same area the other bullets and CW relics are being dug. I dug a 72 caliber round ball, dadgum I would hate to get nicked by that one! Also dug a Couple bullet firsts for me, the 2 two ringers are rare for around here, I have probably dug 4 or 5000 bullets and never dug one of those! The rectangle piece has the name Ida Van Warner stamped on it, not sure if it is period or not. The spoon has Oneida community stamped on it. We all had a great time and than it got cold again, supposed to be cold most the week with a chance for some ice in a few days. Hope everyone has a great weekend! Tim

Looks like some great finds,guys.Glad you got out together.I'm probably wrong,but,that chunk of a lead ingot kinda looks like what they used to melt with a torch to seal pipes? Nice bullets.

Looks like a bunch of serious hunters there Tim. Nice finds, really like the lead bar, I found one of those
near a War of 1812 site.

P.S. I didn't do a darn thing here in Ohio today, only 18 degrees and ground harder than cement.
I did watch The Dark Knight! LOL Also Dreaming of getting rid of my cabin fever soon!
