field of iron still ringin' in my ears
Decided to explore the wooded area around the pond on my new hunting ground. Each swing of the coil lets a machine gun-like spray of iron signals fly. The iron covers the ground for at least 2 acres. Forget about digging all signals here. I get a high signal every thirty seconds though and one out of every 20 high signals is something decent.
This bullet popped out in the first 5 minutes. The soil is dark and moist and gives the bullets a smoky grey hue, not too purty.
Anyone able to identify the bullet at a glance? I found 2 of these today, I hadn't found one like these before out of 50 found across the street.
I didn't think much about this thing when I found it, until I got home and saw the image on the circular section. I think it's silver plated. The guy walking next to the horse seems to be wearing a revolutionary war type hat, and there's a deer draped over the horse. Any body know what this thing is, able to date it? Also, how would you clean it?
Here are the rest of the decent/ curious finds. The harmonica reed seems unusual to me, it's a lot thicker and shorter than normal and it seems to be complete. I'm also curious about the trigger guard looking pieces. Nothing incredible today but not bad for an hour I suppose. I will definitely hit the woods again tomorrow!!
