Nice Civil War Bayonet Scabbard Throat

[JBnNC]

I had a great hunt this weekend here in NC. On Saturday my buddy and I put in a full day on a new property and came up a little bit short with a total of 4 bullets...he saved the day right at dark with a very nice Issacs & Campbell Co. J-hook.
The next morning we woke up to temps in the mid 20s with wind chills in the mid teens. I was fine after hitting the woods and digging my first target which was a beautiful bayonet scabbard throat. Later in the morning, after picking up an occasional bullet or two, I got on a spot maybe 8ft x 8ft and found 6 dropped high-base bullets.

These are my finds for the weekend, just dug and cleaned. Thanks for looking--JB
