Todays Finds from the Field

Today's Finds from the Field

Hi all. Went back to walk the corn field again this morning with my boxers. Found some old and modern lead and a small flat button. Here's for you Internet guys that like your dirty pics:


Here are some semi clean ones:



For you lead heads, the round ball is approximately .547 in and weighs 245 grains. The little cartridge bullet is about .315 " round, .522 " long and weighs 83 grains. They both have been fired so diameters are not accurate, just close.
The button is about 17.37 mm and has " Imperial Standard " as a Backmark. From what I have read on this forum, it is generic. I have not seen the letters so close to the edge before, so perhaps it isn't as old as the ones lettered around the shank? Any button guru's know?
I liked the cartridge bullet because it is a " mini-me " of my avatar, lol. Thanks for looking and safe hunts!

And, another one! Completely convinced by the media and Veterinarian Hospital Insurers Association! Buy that hip replacement for the pooch!

LOL (boy! I'm gonna catch it for that one!! LOL )

Gary, when you come home to one that can't hide it's evident happiness at seeing you and only wants your company ~ not money or poster board at 8 pm or diamond rings, that hip replacement is actually pretty cheap!
