carved spoke based bullet, shot bullets.Nice modern skinner knife

[DigIron2]

Went out Saturday and Sunday for a couple spells. Saturday I did a little scouting on some new territory in the woods. Didn't find anything old but found a nice buck knife and a lighter. The knife is kind of nice, can get some use out of it next deer season. Its funny how stuff can tell a story some times. First I found A shiny brass shell casing, then the lighter, then came the knife. I take it who ever lost it shot a deer, smoked a cigarette, gutted the deer and must have been so excited left his lighter and knife behind They where all just under the leaf's so I am sure they where lost last deer season. Yesterday I went to one of my old place's. Found a widdled on 3 ringer with a spoke base,Indian cent, some shot bullets and a few odds and ends.-- HH out there--Gl

Glad you got out Bud!! Nice carved bullet!! I've had to go back to the site of the kill and get my knife before. It only happens when you're miles from the truck.

Thanks Joe, It felt good to get back out swinging. Whoever left the knife behind probably never would have found it unless had a metal detector himself because it was buried under leaves. There are a few tree stands in the area but none were near the knife that I know of. Would have left it at a stand for them if there was. Just one of those cases of finders keepers I guess, lol.

I don't find many round here either. They do pop up occasionally. Way more then the star bases. The U.S. bases seem scarce. Only found three in all these years, but all were fired.

Me too man. one of my favorite relics too find and collect. A lot of personal connection to the soldier of the period. Right up there with period knives in my opinion. Thanks
