Would have posted this stuff yesterday but the heat completely wore me out :icon_sunny:

Ended up with a few more decent finds.. The ring is from a couple weeks ago, just forgot to post it.. found it hiding in the cabinet today :laughing7:

3 Swage Bullets (2 of them are 6 pt. star, the other a 5 pt. star)

3 Merrill Bullets .54 caliber

Eagle I vest button (this one looked pretty rough when I dug it, surprised it had any gilt)

1863 Indian

Sterling Cub Scout ring

you'd have to be here TODAY! :laughing9:

sorry, i keep thinking you are coming every weekend and it's always the wrong one :laughing7:

of course you will find some, a lot of these signals here are funky, josh and I will help out.. don't worry you won't go home empty-handed next week :icon_thumleft:

Yeah, Jeff, we had a tough day of diggin yesterday but did manage a few keepers. Those Merrills that we pulled out are better than the average MinieBall so we surely didn't walk away empty-handed....the fatty is cool too...Tomorrows a new day though :headbang:

I like the '63 Ind. You guys always seem to do well.

Why are you guys teasing me with the CW lead? Get out there and dig another 1700s coin tomorrow!

That looks like a pretty decent hunt. Always nice to get a fatty. I have a site in Virginia where the troops had target practice. It's nice to dig a few if I've skunked out that day. First few trips I dug over a hundred each time... But most of the bullets there are either swaged ones (all six-point), williams cleaner, or an odd little round that I can't ID yet. (It isn't in M & M's book). :icon_scratch:

Cheers,

Buckles
