Todays short hunt for CW relics.

[tsgman]

Dropped off my Daughters car at the Dealership for some warr stuff. they always loan me a vehicle. So I had a couple hours to kill and went relic hunting. I dug three 69 caliber bullets and a few other items. The little silver leaf might have been part of a ear ring? Anyway had fun and got in a workout so to speak!

Me too. I've found a couple of those things. I never have figured out what they are.

Those went into the nose of a Bull, kinda made him easier to handle, if you ever had to grab it I guess he would settle down some!

Bull ring, you can still buy them. Come in various sizes depending on how big your bull is.

On Tsgman's find the tip is broken where the set screw attaches the ends together (which is probably why it fell out of the bull's nose).

Hog Rings are different. Hog rings are more like a big staple:

I like that McCain sticker, too. Looks like a few of us are on the same page!

The split ring in you pic is to be put in a bulls nose. I did it once and the bull never forgot.

that is such an Awesome mccain sticker. i would really love to see a Awesome palin sticker next hunt. that's what its all about for me. to log on and sign in here on tnet for an escape from all the political bs out there and obamamania and stuff and get to your post and see a mccain sticker. that is Awesome. what would be even more Awesome is if you voted for him. are you voting for mr. Awesome mccain?

oh, nice finds.

P.S.--we have a forum here for that, too.

 

[prolab69]

Yep, def a bulls ring, we have many.
