And not pictured are the 40 some odd Shell casings and a lot of brass casings from .22 to .706, a bunch of bottles and what about the pocket knife we found J.D. ?

This is one good reason for hunting with partners... Some of the stuff was found kinda by accident while I was digging a signal that was deep. J.D. came over and was helping me search the dirt as I was digging it out. Than as he was sifting thru my dirt, that is when her found the hook and button and a bunch of little artifacts... Right place at the right time. Hopefully we will have more to show you next time!!

Isn't this fun!!!!

Bottles can be worth $ too. Are you guys using a sifter at all or a vibraprobe, etc?

 

[j.d. in the usa]
