3 hours at the late 1700s - early 1900s shooting ground !!

Hi TNetters

From this field I have hundreds of musket balls and other lead ammo.
This lot represents a search of aprox. 3 hours.
There was a shooting ground on the place from about 1790 - short after 1900.
The place was situated near an amusement pavilion that stood about 1 km. out of town.

The bullets on the picture are on the left musket balls in different cal., two Minié backloader bullets, and on the right large amounts of torn lead from bullets, among them muskets, Miniés and some bullets for the Remington Rolling Block rifle.

When other fields get too "emty", I always go there. Signals all the time !!

Fun digs....thanks for posting the pics. I bet that field will hold a few secret surprises.

Hi,
I agree with you! When you to 100% wants to find things a site as yours is a good one to go to!

Jag måste även säga att mynten är ngt som är vacker spec de i silver! Är det shilling från slutet 1700 eller runt 1720?

Happy Hunting!
