Thank for looking RR3. HH!RiverRat3 said:Nice finds.
Thank you.!! Believe me, I checked and rechecked that hole many times and every where around it, but didn't find anything else. Finding those bad boys...is awesome to me too. Just wish I could find more...but I'll take what I can get when I get the chance. HH!jamesbibb said:Cool! That ball looks to have been part of a buck and ball load by the depressions on the round ball where the buck would have rested against it. If you go back recheck the hole with a pinpointer the buckshot may still be there. I love finding those bad boys
Thanks Quindy. Now if I can hunt a place where I can find those 20 CW bullets and one nice dropped ball....I'd be in heavenVOL1266-X said:Nice Finds Colleen!! Now if you had found 20 CW bullets, they would not have meant near as much to you as that one nice dropped ball. With the way CW relics are being lost due to construction and areas established where hunting is not alllowed, finding just a few relics is GOOD. Pewter spoon handle? Wtg & HH, Quindy.
Getty said:Very cool! Im glad i was only 15 yds away cause I heard ya yell " YES". I looked over and knew you dug something nice. Congrats on the handle and the .69 ball, both great recoveries. Especially as close to that rock as the ball was,your persistance paid off. WTG!
Yep baby, you've got that right!civilman1 said:Even if it's one piece at a timeIt was where it was found that make's it that much more better!!!
