Another Target Rich Hunt!

...but nothing for the display case. Another couple pounds of musket balls and a few odds and ends.

Beautiful day to be out...15 Celsius and sunny!

Do I spy a coin in there?

Is that a buck and ball load still stuck together?

Yes you do...but worn smooth...

It's definitely something...

Oh hey... thanks for the photo.
By the lack of patina it looks like you do some water hunting also.
They sure are fused together somehow... take a look at this one. "7 bucks"

Good luck in your future hunts

15? Do you still live across the water from me? With those temps you'll soon be leaving the shore behind.

I did try one field an it was completely thawed but others were still rock solid. Five days of rain In the forecast so by next weekend the fields will be open for business!

If the? Was for my number 7 I was referring to the seven buck shot stuck to the bottom of the round ball in my photo.. In comparison to the 7 he has stuck together.. Hinting that maybe 7 was a common number of buckshot to load in a buck and ball load

No question about that... for you! I just hope we get it mostly in rain, but I think it will be mixed.

I like that.

At least it seems temps will be above freezing (daytime high) from now on. Blackflies are thick, like clockwork by May 15, we're bound to have thawed ground by then.

You're having quite the lead-fest at that site. Gotta be some nice keepers hiding out there.
