39 Round Balls in One Hole, Copper disc

[Ahab8]

I had a couple hours the other day and decided to go hunt for a 1700s fort site. I walked up to the top of a steep hill with a nice flat spot on top. Got some iron signals up there but nothing significant. Then I hit a weird little signal and dug this very deep copper disc. Worst I've ever seen


Soooooooo I was left thinking that this wasn't the spot. Just not enough there. I started detecting down the hillside and got a couple of solid signals right next to eachother. Dug down and found a round ball. Stuck my propointer in and found another. Kept on checking and out they came. 39 of them in all. Not all the same size which I thought was a bit odd. I was also surprised that they weren't spread around more. They were in a fairly small area. So now I'm just not sure if I'm in the right spot or not

When I first started detecting I absolutely loved finding musket balls. Now they're just more of a wasted good signal. This "spill" was a pretty neat find though.
After this I walked to another small area with some early activity and pulled this button out of the iron

Couple of funny posts here.

I agree Abe, while I personally don't mind finding old musket balls, bullets in general don't interest me, as they are meant to be "thrown away", finding stuff people didn't meant to throw away (loose) is what I'm after.
So round balls, three ringers or what ever type of bullet , they are pretty much scrap lead. That said finding the guy's whole pouch full is def. a bit more interesting. Actually quite interesting considering the different sizes.

Best of all is this weather, and being able to hunt at all.

I did find a copper 2 days ago, but was a blank so didn't bother to post the short hunt.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

In this world everything turns to "Scrap" in the end. LOL

I know your pain, I started w a bounty hunter tracker IV , that lasted 2 months, then an ace 350, that lasted 6 months then a atpro, now I got my eyes set on my next toy, and will work extra overtime to fund it lol!

So what is the next toy you have your eyes set on? Gonna join the ranks of the proud Deus users, or are you going after the heavyweight CTX3030?

Beez, Tom says the entourage you take with you is getting out of hand... The butler, masseuse and chauffeur are just ridiculous, lol. He understands the homeless guy you hire to dig your holes though.

OD, just because Smittyman has a new truck and insists on driving that does not make him our chauffeur. And Tom never told me he was homeless, just that he liked digging my holes for me cause I'm old.

Congrats on your buttons and balls Abe!
One day, I'm sure in our lifetimes we're going to be happy just to find a musket ball!
Sounds like you're onto a great site there my friend!

Ha ha ha ha! Oh man. Well since she's my girlfriends sister I figured she had to have a furry back. When it's real cold at night here I just spoon up to that big wall of fur to warm up. First thing you look for in a girl here in Maine.... lots of warm back fur.
