I don't think they are old...

I don't know anything about bullets,any help would be cool..(I think the small one are .22's)

Oh can limestone give false hits?What I mean is.....My MD. kept saying 4 to 6in. deep,But there is so much limestone pieces that it's very hard to dig.I know that limestone can hold iron oxide & such.It is just tuff for me to figure out all the beeps...Thanx for lookin...Geo

Re: I don't think they are old...

Small appear to be .22's and the large are cast .38 wad cutters from what i can tell
J-G

.38's might be 40-50 years old but are still being made so could also be much newer.

Re: I don't think they are old...

Gotta love those bullets! (Nana...bullet Queen)
We have lots of Limestone around here and I've never had any problems with getting false signals from it. Only thing I can think of is...when I first started detecting, I used a bounty hunter machine. If I ever bumped it on a rock or twig, it would make false tones?

You did GREAT for your first time hunting!

Re: I don't think they are old...

That is very kind of you Nana...I think the place that I was huntin is a old cattle water hole.There is a limestone cliff,with a long berm built infront of it.(it holds water sometimes)I have pics can I post them here or start another one ?Also I have found the locking thing that locks two traincars together.But no track anywhere!I tryed to move it....but that did not happen at all...way too heavy.I wonder if there was a station there.This looks like a job for research man!lol

Re: I don't think they are old...

yep bumping the coil on sumpin with a quick draw will get er to beep. --- if your getting a lot of falsing however try dropping the sen / power level a bit -- often this will cure it. (but not always--and slowly drop it until it stabilzes --since you lose a bit a depth in the process stop as soon as stable)

those bullet appear to be "modern" 38 pistol wadcutter design ( for target shooting) and 22's

Re: I don't think they are old...

I sure try..lol.....

Re: I don't think they are old...

Here is where I dug those bullets....On the right side is the cliff,on the left is the berm.

This is what the ground looks like.(we like to fossil hunt on the berm..

This is the same spot as the 1st pic...Just a little wetter...har

This is the cliff fase after the rain..

My wife Dawn lookin for fossils on the berm....Thanx for lookin ....Geo

Re: I don't think they are old...

Did you pick up the sea urchin fossils from the first gravel shot?

[Neogeo]

Re: I don't think they are old...

Sure did...I have tons of fossil insitu's...& plenty of "Can you find the fossil pics"
here is what Dawn found while I was M.D.in....

Re: I don't think they are old...

Fossil hunting sure does look like the way to go in that area, wish we had something like that around here. Keep hunting that machine. You can learn a lot from these folks. I got my first detector when i was really young and pretty much taught myself until i bought a subscription to the magazine above^. They didn't have the internet back then...Happy hunting!!!

Re: I don't think they are old...

Nice pictures of your site.  I'm into it all too, fossils, Indian artifacts, metal detecting, etc., basically an all around hunter.

When I have hit sites that have a limestone drive way I have these false signals too.  I believe they are false because it will tell me coin at 3 inches with the GTI 2500 and when I dig there's nothing there.  I even pass the coil over the area again and nothing.  I have even dug down a little, swiped the coil over, signal still there, but after pulling more limestone out, nothing.  So now I don't bother to dig into limestone for coins.....not worth it.

I have a bucket that I throw all of my lead finds into.  I was a little disappointed when I cashed it in last time.  I believe they gave me $1.00 for 5 lbs of lead.  I spent more in gas to get there but I did it as an environmental thing.  I have a friend that casts bullets, I'll give it all to him next time.

By the way that is a nice point that you have for your avator.
