Hi all,

Last time I posted I was throwing up in the woods with heat frustration. :o Well, lesson learned I waited for this cooler weather. 8) Went out today for about 4 hours and did find find some decent finds.
I found a Sabot from a type 2 high band 10 lb Parrot. At first I thought it was trash but was so happy to see what it really was. Also dug a bunch of shrapnel and some mini's. Also found what looks to be a gunpowder flask from an old musket. Glad to see the weather is changing and hope to post some good relic digs in the near future. Thanks for looking.

Ronin HH!!!!!
