It was beautiful out today so I went relic hunting. This is it for the year. It's been a pretty good year & I can't complain. No plates but I dug close to 600 bullets which is a personal best. HH & happy new year

I have found about 300 in the last few years. They are all in riker boxes, and marked by site. Most are drops as I dig camps. I need to expand my horizons some.

All my stuff is in cases also. I need to look into finding some new areas also buddy. I have a journal I keep with the spots I hunt. I have numbers for each spot & I write it on the artifacts for that site. I have so much stuff that if I didn't I couldn't tell what came ftome where. I mean I remember where the better relics came from but the common stuff gets numbered. I usually put it in the base of the bullets. I've told my buddies about it if something happens to me lol.

That's the way to do it , I keep all my stuff by site as well , ( I have a-lot of small Riker Cases for those sites with 1 or 2 bullets ) Most of my Minnie's are fired 75% i'd guess , drops look better , but I know what skirmishes the Fired rounds came from & that's a major + to me , & THIMC I DON"T hunt Protected Sites.

Development has taken 70% of Civil War Sites in this area ; with 20 % being Nat or State parks & the rest is luck , picking through trash & even those sites are disappearing quickly in the Building Boom being back on , it reminds me of the Late 1980's & 1990's .

Thanks for the Nice & motivating threads.
