I went to Kentucky over the Thanksgiving weekend to see my brother and get a little hunting in. I don't think I did too bad overall. I got skunked detecting in the field but made up for it in my brother's collection. I was able to "dig" several bullets and a 1785 Conn. copper.
I was amazed at how clean the bullets were and the fact that they were tagged with an ID was icing on the cake! The two untagged pieces are a field cast round ball and a carved bullet.
We hunted a furnace that was used to make cannon balls during the revolutionary war but it has been used as a dump since then! All I got from there were two pieces of glass.
I did find a Kentucky tongue and wreath buckle at one site, but, I think I got the tongue to one and the wreath to another.
I'll have to let my brother go back and see if he can find the rest!
