CW hunt with Hutch911 Interesting finds

[tymcmurray]

Met Hutch down in Virginia and started hunting at sunrise.
Had a GREAT time all day long.
Finds:

2 nice horseshoes
Unusual hook
D ring
Part of a 2 tine fork
3 shrapnel (One threaded piece)
4 roundballs
1 fired 58
1 dropped 58
1 50 cal. roundball (What's up with that?)
1 Smith Carbine/Gallager Carbine - Mac Mason bullet
And more JUNK than I'd like to admit!!!

A few firsts for me. It's amazing that pulling a bullet out of the ground STILL
gets me going, especially if it's one I never seen!!!

The hook looks like the kind of hook they used to hook up their old buggys back in the day...nice finds.

The hook was found in the wood in between the Union and Confederate lines.
No road, no house. I really don't have a clue what it was used for.
