Now, I'm ready if I finally blow my fuse.

Went out for about 4.5 hours today. It was more for just a nice long, Autumn walk, but, found a bit of clad and a couple surprises along the way. (Kind of like normal, eh? )

The thingamajig up top, appears to be brass. No clue. It was really buried! About a foot down!

The lead was a surprise. I didn't expect to find anything like this where I was hunting. Looks like it must've hit a rock!

The dimes in the middle make me wonder, just how sure are we that silver stopped in 1964?

Thanks for peeking!

HH!

Good day !

Yes some of those '65 dimes come out looking suspiciously like there is a percentage of silver in them.
However I have never read of any accidental overspill of silver into 1965 dimes.

I wish there was, I find allot of teasers from then.
Not sure if I ever saw any 66's come out looking clean.
BTW....your 66 looks like it has a circle on it

whisk will help that 66

Could the lead be a nipple cover?

Only if they were something like 48 triple D's ! LOL

I don't know bullets, but it looks more like the civil war bullets I have except it's been flattened!

As far as I know, no, the dimes aren't silver.

Could well be a rotor. But, it's got a very heavy green patina and was very deep. Maybe a model T?

 

[redneck13126]

You know how much the bullet weighs

 

[WHADIFIND]

You know how much the bullet weighs

Never thought of weighing them before. About 28 grams. That help?

 

[redneck13126]

Yes ill weigh a 3 ringer i have and a deer slug ill let youvknow

Good deal. Either way, there's a pretty heavy white patina so I know it's pretty old.

Thanks!

Don't know if it helps any but the first 3 weighed in around 31-35 grams. The "cannon" to the right weighed in at a whopping 45 grams!!!

The 2nd one had a reason to be a little lighter. It had been wormed.

HH!

 

[redneck13126]

Nice and yeah the wormed one was the start of hollow points lol im diggin out a 12 ga slug now

 

[redneck13126]

Well my batteries in my scale are dead so i have to go get some but my gut feeling is a deer slug

 

[got2dig]

That's the way I like them. lol HH
