The Road to Recoveries - TWO 1st !!! Knapsack hook & Arrowhead**UPDATES**
I had a golden opportunity present itself to me this week, which I was finally able to take advantage of after work today.
Right outside the entrance where I work, they are cutting out a section of woods to build a new road & bridge to replace the existing section. This is part of the wooded area between two of my normal MDing spots where I find CW relics.
After securing permission, I patiently waited until 5:00pm when all work stopped. A few of the guys were still there when I began MDing.
I wasn't detecting more that two minutes and dug my first CW bullet while one of the guys watched. He couldn't believe his eyes.
He asked to see it to go show his buddy. By the time they both returned I had dug my second one.
By this time, one of the guys says "I got to get me one of those detectors". 
After about 5 minutes of BS, they took off and I was by myself.
Within 90 minutes I had all the finds you see, including my first knapsack hook!!! That find really made my day. I found two bullets and the knapsack hook within a 3 ft radius. As I was about to call it quits and head back to my truck, I looks down and by one of the dozers I spotted this arrowhead!!! Another first for me.
As you can imagine, I had a great day. They are not even half done yet with the clearing they need to do, so you can bet I'll be out there as much as possible.
Here's my finds:
*Asst'd CW bullets - I would greatly appreciate any ID's you bullet guru's can help me with.
*Knapsack hook.
*Arrowhead - Any info on this arrowhead?
*Atlas lock (RFD on the other side)
*Two odd looking lead pieces. Bullets
*Pottery shard.
Thanks for looking Folks,
MM

Awesome finds! 
I've dug good ones, buttons off of them, and J-hook parts by themselves--glad your first was complete.
