W&C padlock with the bullet that was shot at it ..
I just got permission to hunt this new site within half a mile from CEDAR MOUNTAIN ,VA .I located the old map of the area showing several old home sites . Which I realize most of these places have probally been hit very hard from the past years ...So I found one old foundation and I started pulling horse shoe's out of the ground like there was no tomorrow and and then found the old well inbetween two oak trees and about 20 feet from it I found a old W&C padlock and a three ring .69 cal sitting right infront of the lock it appears to have been shot at the lock from the shape of the bullet and the hole in the lock ,I guess they where unsucessfull in openning it becuase its still closed . I also found a few buttons and 2 ring solid base CW bullet and a peice from a handle on a suit case and a flatten musket ball . So all in all I am pleased with my finds so far ... but plan on heading back today ....
