A new patch of woods gives up some CW history...

[TokenMan]

Hi all! I had about 2 hours to give this patch of woods I have eyeballing for a couple of weeks a chance. The local was near an old road bed that was believed to be CW traveled. I was moving quicker than normal trying to find iron then slow a bit. It produced some nice finds. I will be back and start to slow even more in some spots. Who knows, after 25 years, maybe...just maybe my 1st plate may emerge. Also I dug a nice 1901 IHC. 2 bullets were star based and one has me a little puzzled and would like some help with a positive ID. It has been wormed too. The last three pics are the bullet in question. Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Not much original wooded area left here in norther ill. Of course I do not have permission to Metal Detect them but I am always wondering about mding a group of old growth trees driving down the road. Always interesting.

I don't know about your pulled bullet, but maybe some kind of cleaner? (With the bottom part missing?) Dang nice stuff in 2 stinkin' hours! Two buttons? Shoot!

Nice digs.

 

[TokenMan]

CH-Yeah, gonna get a full day in there soon!

Sutphin & vino- yep, there may be a plate sitting in there

Helix-you won't ever know unless you give it a swing.

PW-yeah not sure. the hole in the base goes 3/4 of the way up. might post in the what is it to see if I can get ID'd. it was 2 "metal detecting" hours...may have been closer to 4 , but i only had 2 hours to go play

Digit-Thanks.

Thanks for looking!

Your star base bullets appear to be the .58 caliber Washington Arsenal type. Nice group of relics!

Nice bunch of relics ..
I'm with PW, & think your pulled Bullet is a Type 2 Williams Cleaner without it's washer.
Funny dug a similar Iron Buckle yesterday as Well. @ U.S. Calvary camp.
Thanks for the Pic's

GD- yeah, the star base ones are exactly that for sure. Nice link. It was the one in the last 3 pics that had me confused.

Davers- Thanks. I thought that too, but every one I have ever dug had a small nipple on bottom, not a hole the size that is on a sharps base, and this goes a tad further up than 3/4 of the bullet. Maybe I just never dug one that was missing nipple too. I will have to take a closer look when I get home this evening. Thanks again!

 

[Davers]

Yeah I thought it was a Sharps (type) at first, Without checking my bullet book It could be a Type 1 or 2.
Seen one of that type listed as type 1 last night in my Relic Quest Book.

I've dug many type 3 Cleaners With just the Hole, Never dug a Type 1 or 2 here in GA,

Actually the first CW bullet I ever dug was a type 3 with just the hole back in 98 , Without Books or a Computer it took me quite a while to figure out what I had. LOL

 

[TokenMan]

Well, no wonder I didnt really get it... I dug many type 1 and 3's...this is the 1st type 2 for me Heading back for a full day this weekend, if all goes right. Thanks!

Awesome saves! That looks to be an untouched patch you got there! Good luck on finding your first plate!

 

[Old River]

Go back. There's more to be found.
