You guys just don’t understand I hunt A LOT and the IH Cent comes very few and in between for me in the 6 years of my addiction. I might average 2-3 a year and they’re always crusty as heck. Well today I got that 100%, uncut, pure 1890 Indian Head Cent with that beautiful shiny green patina. I’m telling you it was beautiful coming out of that sandy black soil. Also got another Colt revolver bullet and another 2 bullets I haven’t seen before any help is appreciated. I also decided to show my glass shards today I get a lot of this just thought I’d show it. For this Swamp Donkey it was a great day. Got to give a shout out to the ML 6” it hits deep [emoji1360]

Yea I'm 98% sure you have an Enfield variant 'Congratz' , & "IMHO" your other bullet looks to be an OLD but post Civil War bullet but then again YNK.
Keep it up.

I have a pair but if it’s 30 degrees in the morning buy 11 am it’s 48 and I’m getting what’s called Swamp Ass.

Davers which ones which? I know the Colt has the point you tautness that. Which one is the big homemade looking one? And the other one same size as the Colt that was surprisingly deep at least 9”?
