A couple keepers on a cold day CW

KirkTN · Jan 14, 2009

Brother john37115 and decided we better get us a detecting fix today when the temp. got up to 30 degrees since the next two days are supposed to be really cold. Down to 5 degrees by morning they say. Found a couple nice CW bullets. One 69 caliber pumpkin Ball and one 58 caliber Gardner I think. Found Part of an old Iron stirrup, one of the safety type I believe. Age of stirrup? Found An interesting heavy brass piece, and some other stuff. Several old horse shoe pieces just one complete. Pretty much just had fun and slipped in a little camera practice. I missed a Great photo opp. Brother came trottin over the hill toward me and I thought he'd found something Great, instead he informed me to keep an eye out because he had seen a young Mountain Lion. About 50 to 60 pounds he estimated. We went back up the hill to look for him and he was out of site.

Very nice finds. Yeah, we see those big ole kitty cats here in my area too (Morgan County, Tn.) I was on patrol one night and saw a big black one walk across the road in front of me. It looked to be close to 24" tall at the top of it's back and had a very long tail. We used to call them black panthers when I was a kid.
