I found a BEAR at the Yankee camp!

They say sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you. Slow day after church at the camp today. But the wedding band in the edge of the creek made it worthwhile. Couple bullets, camp lead and a button back. Then I found a surprise. Watch Fob from the "Hunter Trapper Trader" magazine. (Circa 1920s) Last pic is what it looked like before 90 years of fertilizer . . .

I work at a church, so that part's not a problem. Now if I could just get back to that SITE every day AFTER work . . .
