got out with fisher2 today to a field we have been working off and on for the past few weeks
got a few strange shaped Minni balls couple of musket balls 2 barber dimes as well as two Indians a 1902 and a 1907
bunch of clad
also if you look at the first picture you will see what looks like a silver button i dug
when we got home and was looking over our take fisher2 said hey you dug part of my pants
the silver think came from his pants and when he stepped on it it drove it into the ground
how it got below the grass roots is beyond me

I think I found one of these yesterday....was not sure what it was but I thought bullet. One site I just looked at mentioned they have been used for the last 20 years. Is this also your understanding?

both the thomas and lee were sold by herters back in the late 60's as molds only
not sure how long ago they started selling the pre-greased ones
herters was mail order catalog for sporting goods
