1st Grape Shot @ Old Arsenal (McArthur Park)

[tabdog]

Hi Folks,

We had a meeting of the Arkansas Treasure Hunters
Club today and I met up with a club member named
Steve at McArthur Park after the meeting was over.

As usual, I didn't expect to find anything, but up comes
a eagle button,

I kind of hate to do that to Steve. He is kind of green and
trying to figger out his Minlab ETrack,,,,, Poor Guy

Next thing you know, I found my first Grape Shot!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I'm all giddy like a little kid and poor Larry just don't
know what ta make of this old Arkie fool.

I wasn't quite finished, I found a flattened pistol ball and
piece of camp lead,

My Vaquero did me proud again.

Thanks fer L@@kin,

Tabdog

Hey, Tab, nice finds. I worked that park pretty good last year, when I was home (Little Rock) for a few months. I found a Civil War Ordinance Button ( Crossed Cannons with U.S.) and a One Piece Great Coat Button out by the Huge Tree. But where I really did good, was behind the Building, by the Cistern. In that small area behind the Building, I noodled out Five Barbers, oldest was a 1893, Two V Nickels, oldest 1883, Seven Indians, Countless Wheats, Seven Mercs, One Rosie, and two nice Little Rock Trade Tokens ca 1901. Two Eagle Buttons, several three ringers, and a couple of Round Balls, and a couple of nice rings. All from an area about the size of a Basketball Court. The area behind the Building, was the Parade Ground. I heard they were going to do some major landscaping, and expand the pond there. Keep an eye on it, they are supposed to be digging it up soon. Unfortunatly, I'm working in Virginia at the moment, no relics here!!
