Yesterday I found a bullet that may be a .38 at this site and this morning I found a brass shotgun shell. A quick Google search tells me that they quit making these after WWII (although they are making them again for competitions). Two things to note:
1) There have been houses 100 yards in any direction from this spot since the 1920's, so who was shooting guns here and why? This goes for the possible .38 slug as well.
2) This was a good 4 inches deep in a nice open area. You could not miss the loud signal if you were deaf. The bullet was a little closer to the edge of the woods. So, no one has hunted this area since this shell was dropped possibly back in the '40's or '50s?
I haven't had a lot of time to detect this area. Altogether I have spent a little over an hour here. I also found several clad dimes all 3-4 inches and all with early '70's dates.
