Fine day w/ a couple Missouri guys

umrgolf · Oct 31, 2011

I recently spoke with a fellow Tnet member (Mike) about hitting a couple sites around our area.. Well, Saturday he called me and Sunday we decided to get out with his buddy, Roger (Abe :laughing7:

) These guys were kind enough to show me a spot they've been hunting the last several years and the finds were great! We stopped at a place of mine first and later one of their's- focused on one hill they refer to as "Sharp's Hill".... you'll see why :headbang:

I didn't shoot any pics out in the field, but snapped a couple at my place after the hunt. Thanks again fellas.. Lookin forward to researching a couple new spots this winter :icon_thumleft:

- The bullets we were finding were a majority of .49 cal Sharps w/ three rings, a couple .44 cal w/ two rings, and three .44 cal multi-ring. I would have to think all of these are very scarce bullets.

Great assortment of uncommon bullets Jeff. Now you need to find a Missouri or Arkansas state seal button!

Probably won't be finding one of those around here considering the Union Army that was camped here the whole war :laughing9:

I'll have to venture out a couple hours away to get in some Confederate areas
