Virgin Site - No Metal Detector - 150+ Frags

TrashedTiger · Oct 2, 2008

Hey everyone. I lucked out today big time. I did some research and found a site that was pounded with artillery during the war. I went to scout it out today without a metal detector and found over 150 frags in only a 2 hour period. These frags were not discarded by a former detectorist but rather recently uncovered due to weather. All of these were found within a 50 yard stretch in a straight line. There are so many more out there (plus untold other relics) but I had to quit because my back was killing me from carring all these frags back and forth. Lots of frag shots but the last 2 I need help IDing. It looks to me like the front piece of a pistol (wishful thinking) but only electrolosis will solve this mystery. I got a side shot and a "business end" shot of it too. I got some good pics though so check them out and let me know what you think. I know you will understand that I cannot disclose the location as of yet. Enjoy.

Could be a barrel...maybe. Tough to tell until all the crust is gone.

Wow, I see now how those can be deadly. Much bigger than I imagined frag to be. That would mess you up no doubt.

Keep @ it and HH!!

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!
You know years ago we used to discard all our lead and frags because we found so many and they weighed a ton. I can remember digging holes and filling them with 3 ringers and round balls. How times have changed.
