Ignored Dr. Orders, Found Civil War Stuff

[bologna321]

Hurt my knee a while back, Dr. said no bending over or kneeling for a while. But a field I wanted to hunt was just cleared of hay, so out I went for a short hunt. I didn't want to walk far so I told myself I was digging anything over 35 on the AT pro till I was hurting. Next to an old river ford and wagon trail, I got out in the field away from the modern trash and got a decent 60 signal. Flip the plug and got my first 3 ringer about 4" down. Searched the area and dug a .53 caliber round ball. Next is a large melted or fired minie ball, not sure but I think its over .60 caliber if I had to guess. Last keeper was the buckle about 8 inches down, this rang in the solid 90's for the pro, it loved this target so much I was expecting a silver half.

Called it quits, felt lucky I had 4 keepers in about 10 holes. I need to go back, I think this field has not been hunted.

Good luck all.

I think you did well. After all, if they were gonna send you to physical therapy the first thing they would have you do is bend your knee!! You just made your own therapy, saved a lot of money, and had fun doing it ! Docter's orders were meant to be broken. Although I can feel your pain, I have had 2 surgeries on the same knee.

Nice digs. What are the marks on the round ball? Does it have an indention on the opposite side?
Maybe that's a ramrod mark. Nice ether way!
