Civil War artillery shells, snakes and more...

[aquachigger]

Some of my latest finds. I'm now up to 31 Civil War artillery shells for the season. It's been a good one...



Here is a neat little automatic...



I saw this snake crawl up the bank with a little catfish in his mouth.



Here is a pile of modern tokens I found today. I have a Facebook friend that found @ 1300 of them a few days ago. We don't hunt together and live hours apart, but I stumbled upon the exact spot he was digging. Quite the coincidence...



Last but not least. Ever wonder where all of those toilet flushes end up? Here are about 50,000. Yummy....



Thanks for looking!

That last spot would be a good place to find wrinkle neck catfish!

Love the shells. You've got some really good spots for that AT.

Keep that shovel or scoop or whatever you're using handy... The next snake may want an Aquachigger!

My dad & I went fishing years ago in a boat and the dang copperheads were so aggressive they would roll off the logs and come to the boat and raise up to try to get in. That paddle got a good workout.

Hmmmmm... Just where do you think the toilet flush water goes if you are on a public sewer system anywhere in the U.S.? Also, care to guess where most of the drinking water comes from? I could tell you as an ex-public health official, but that wouldn't be any fun, now would it?

I'm thinking it could be fun but I'm not right most of the time.

Very cool find again.

I just finished glassing it and I can see a few scattered numbers and letters. I don't think I will ever be able to make out the whole series though. It's in pretty rough shape. Thanks for the comment!

Holly crap gotta ask.. Is the water fall (toilet runoff) picture from Frederick MD?

Yep! Remember the sweet aroma wafting throughout that stretch of river? It's only one of many sewer outfalls to be passed on a kayak trip. That's one heavily "used" body of water.

Great finds Beau. We had a well drilled in the first home I bought. It was about 100 feet downhill from my septic field. I asked the well driller about it and he said once water filters through about 50 feet or so of soil, it's "clean." Of course the local health inspector had to sign off on the location, so I assume it was ok.

Great stuff as always! I love the pistol, I'm pretty sure it's a Model 1908 Colt Pocket .25.

What kind of snake is that? Doesn't look like the copperheads we have up here in PA

What's the breakdown on your artillery shell finds?
And when is the book coming out?
You have a killer couple of years, hope to see many more!

It looks like a water snake to me.
