4 pounder!

[birdman]

I have not posted in a couple of weeks ,nothing exciting found.I did find somebody's teeth. Pretty creepy . Yesterday morning ,I meet up with a couple of friends and did some woods hunting. I got lucky and found a 4 pound solid shot cannonball! It is in pretty good shape for being the ground for over 200 years. I also found several of grape shot and several musket balls. It was a greathunt even though we got rained out. The pictures are pretty fuzzy,the scanner is not to hot on larger objects. I guess I need to try the camera again. The one picture with several different odds and ends was from several quick hunts over the last week and a half or so. I hope all is well and happy hunting.

Thanks for all the replies, I went back today and only found a couple of musket balls. Still looking for a regiment button or a nice uniform item. Maybe I will get one before I have to leave.

Ausgezeichnet!!!

Finding a 4-lb cannonball is quite exciting... 8) I would have a celebration after that!

The teeth, now that's a good example of what happened to people when there was no toothpaste.
