last two days Cw hunting

[dragon6banger]

well i said last night i would post my finds today i just wanted to get in a few more hours of hunting first before i posted was hoping to have more to show to everyone,i think i did pretty good for as hot as it is.yesterday i found some bullet I've been wanting to find for a while now, they are just three ringers but there in cased in wood and should make for a great display i hope i can keep them in the wood i took all my finds out back and washed them off for the pictures. now i think the ones that are in the wood I'm gonna put them in the oven and bake them on about 100 degrees for a few hours or so tonight to help dry the wood out before i epoxy them. if anyone knows a better way of preserving them in the wood please let me know before i mess them up i really want them to stay in the wood i think they are cooler that way.well here are the pictures i hope you enjoy

I like the bullets in the wood.

That is very cool! I would want them displayed like that also, wish i could help i'm sure someone will, but maybe you could just brush some linseed oil on the wood?

i will post pictures after I'm done with them but right now i have to let it dry out real well.the large piece of wood i heart pine and i don't know how many people on here know what happens to pine after that long in the ground but around here people call it Light wood and is use to light fires. i think back in the day it was used to make turpentine or something like that , the sap in them is very flamable.so i was just gonna let it dry out to the point that i could epoxy the whole thing and hope that works but like i said if anyone know a better way please let me know. thanks for looking.oh yeah i forgot to add the large pice of wood has a few bullets in it not just the one
