I was killing time this afternoon in my back yard, swinging my detector and got a high tone. uncovered an old cunningham vacuum tube, so i dug carefully so not to break it, glad i did, because under the tubes was this ww1 bandage tin, full of white bandages, and under that a stash of live ammo! one 22 with a P on it, 11 rem usc 38 s&w, one (maybe) 45 markings were: F A 14 8, and the business end of a fired bullet, looks like the size of a 223 also 7 buttons.
