Then a religious medallion that looks a lot like the ones That come from Mission sites

Then to top the day off I dug an Iron bullet mold(half),and then a Pepperbox pistol barrel!

Good Lord! Those are top notch! Photos and finds like this keep me digging.


Now, I'm not going to let you escape without posting the pepperbox pistol barrel and the bullet mold half.


Nice Job on the BIG 8.

The medallion says (in part) the boy ('nino') of Our Lady (abbreviated 'N.S.') of Atocha. Here's an unrelated pic of a small boy (Christ?) with NS de Atocha.
