Todays hunt in the woods.

[Old River]

Made a hunt in the woods today. Found a few interesting relics, and a few bullets. The metal button is very unusual. I've never seen one like it. Found the little white button when digging another relic. I don't know what the big piece is, but it doesn't look like a hinge. I thought it might be a piece off a gun.

Finding the bullets, when they have definitely struck something.....does it maybe send a bit of shiver up your spine? Pretty cool. I am still looking for my first CW finds. Great stuff, thanks for sharing...

Nice job. Did you pick a place in random or did you know there may be something in the area you were hunting?

Finding those bullets that have struck something does make you think. Thats the beauty of metal detecting. The mysteries. I've found a lot of bullets that in the same condition. Some a large, some are small. Musket balls also.

The property Where I'm hunting belongs to good friends of mine that gave me permission to hunt there. He took me on a little tour of the property, and showed me all the old homesites on it. All total its about eight. Some of it is in the heavy woods, and some in open fields. I use my tractor, and brush hog to clear the areas in the wood, and do my detecting. I think I found an old celler at one of the sites. It has bricks in it, and a lot of broken glass, pottery, and other metal objects. The little white button came from this spot. I hope to dig a little more in the spot. Thanks for viewing, and the comments.
