Back to the Indian Wars site, more neat stuff

[juju]

Howdy all,
Today wasn't as nice as yesterday but made for a great hunt. I met up with Triple Nickel, and hit the field near the old Fort Steilacoom. I managed 6 more 3 ringers, a small piece of lead shot, and a neat cross. When I first saw the cross in the hole I was thinkin trade silver. No dice though. It is marked Italy on the reverse, but cool all the same. I am not convinced the soldiers were shooting at the hill next to the field but rather along the face of it. Most of the bullets show impact damage on one side indicating a flat trajectory and impact. I haven't uncovered any buttons yet but am still workin on it. I aim to make a display of all the relics uncovered in this field. For those not familiar with the fort, here is the link again.

I am gonna hit this field again in the mornin if anyone wants to join me. I always enjoy the company. Luck in the hunt.

Sweet looking relics.I would love to hunt that place with you.But,it would cost me more for the
plane ticket than I can afford.
Congrats on your finds,I love to find that old lead.

Looks like you guys had fun! Can't wait to meet up with you next tuesday and hunt again! That cross looks really cool! Nice job on the musket ball and bullets!!!

Bullets definitely look like they have been impacted with something. Like the cross. Keep up the great finds there Nate.

Nice stuff...I grew up in Tacoma and worked for a while in a place in Steilacoom (city) called Behr Drug and Hardware..it had an old set up with the soda fountain..the store still had many old artifacts in it...if it still survives you may want to hunt behind the store area as I heard many a tale about the dice and poker games that went on behind the establishment.

I know of a few other places you may want to go to..you can PM or e-mail if you would like. Check the trees for damage or strikes...soldiers tend to shoot high in daylight hours and under pressure.. Good Luck and God Bless.
