Cap bust!

[BenVa68]

Got a new permission today. We got a late start but my very first hole was a 1822 cap bust! I also dug a candlestick holder, a leather rivet, a fired bullet or possibly cannister shot not quite sure. Also some unknowns and a Lot of square nails. The equinox seems to love those rusty square nails.
