Re: At The Firing Range (FIELD UPDATE)

The thing with 10 on it is another piece of a shot gn cartridge like the others. All modernish, if they are there then other stuff maybe hidding. Keep hunting :)
 
Re: At The Firing Range (FIELD UPDATE)

Yeah i only had a quick go in that field i thought that it might be a bit of a army button or some thing any ideas on that buckle?

It maybe a button, I can't see it too well.

The buckle looks like a shoe buckle, not sure on age.
 
Re: At The Firing Range (FIELD UPDATE)

I agree with Crusader. That latest any of those bullets are from are World War II. I see some nice ringers. There is a nice standard three ringer, almost Civil War era. Those are some nice mixes of time. You almost have a time map with you in those bullet finds.

Congrats!
