Relic Hunting
My buddies and I got out to the site in Virginia where we have been very fortunate to dig many civil war relics; including many buttons, bullets, and period coins. Yesterday was no different, and I walked away digging:

2 dropped .58s
2 fired enfileds (one with wood plug in base)
1 Williams cleaner Pin
1 .fired 22 caliber
4 fired .58s
2 wheat pennies,
1 1945 Mercury Dime
1 Zouve jacket button

Be careful when cleaning the base of bullets, I thought there was mud caked in and I was trying to dig out the dirt, low and behold, I was boring out part of the wood plug and stopped when I reaized it was not dirt but a wood plug (ugh.....) :-) lesson learned and happy hunting.... :icon_thumright:
