Yay I found something I didn't loose

Unlike all the clad coins I find in my yard. This looks to be a blank round that the head stamp dates to 1942. The slug is copper jacketed. There is striations on it but it apparently missed its target. Not valuable but kinda cool I thought. My 6yr old calls everything we find treasure. I guess that's really the pay off, hanging out with my kiddo's. I don't know who gets more exited to dig me or the kids.

Very cool!

 

[dig kzoo]

Cool finds! that would appear to be a blank based on the extended tip collar.

It is hard to tell with no size reference but that casing looks to be a 50 cal. brass. Nice find and great time with the kids.

Does look like a 50 cal.way to go.

The shell is indeed a brass blank. It's a 30.06 according to what I googled on the head stamp. M1 Garand from what I gathered.

the fact that your six year enjoys getting out finding treasures with you is priceless.times spent hunting and fishing with my dad are the memories i have today many years after my father has passed.

Yep my grand dad was a workaholic who didn't do a lot with my dad. Pop changed that with me, I carry it on with my kids. I include them in everything. It never ceases to amaze me that my son at 6 asks to do things we did when he was 3. They retain so much I just hope I pass along some good to them.
