First CW bullet

[Lotsawhatzits]

I spent the weekend hunting and found several spoons and then under a tree root I found this bullet. I wasn't expecting anything like that around here. The mercury dime is from two weekends ago and was my first silver. I found the sash weight yesterday. The glass level bubble came up when I was digging a nail, about two inches deep. I was suprised it came up unbroken. I dug the torpedo shaped piece of iron at the same time and place as the dime. I was hoping someone might have an idea what it could be. I think the place I'm hunting must have been an old dump site. I'm finding some unsusual stuff, but no coins.

Welocme to Tnet! Awesome finds........what a coincidence, I found my first CW bullet today as well! its also a 3 ringer like yours. Keep up the great work!!! Shane

thanks Shane, and congrats to you to. I've read posts talking about three ringers and thought they were talking about some detector signal. I just got it. :-)

Great job finding your first 3 ringer. The large iron piece looks like a sash weight from a window in a house.

Great finds, dump sites usually put out some nice finds. Looks like you found a hot spot.

CW relic hunters dig dump sites all the time.

By the way where you from and what kind of detector are you using?

I forgot to add, you might want to take a sifter back to the dump site. Sometimes you can pick up relics
that don't show up on a metal detector, buttons, glassware, pottery and so on.

Good stuff...the big iron thing most definitely looks like an old window weight to me. I've demo'd several from old houses, they make great boat anchors

I found my first bullet(s) without a metal detector. As a child I (without knowing at the time) lived on property that was once a Union encampment in Columbia, Tennessee. We played in a big field behind the house and I used to find lots of .58 cal 3 ringers and Williams cleaners on the ground and put them in my pocket and take them home. I eventually gave them to my Grandfather. Then one day he passed away. I'm not sure which of my greedy relatives took them along with other cool relics he had collected, but I never saw them again. The big field was hauled away in dump trucks and is now developed into car lots, stores, office buildings ,etc. Such is life.
