Went out today with a bud back to a spot where I dug a bunch of bullets and he dug a 12 lb Boreman cannonball a few months ago. I was trying hard to find my first complete artillery shell, but that didn't happen. However he did find one, a complete Shenkel shell. I managed 11 bullets; 3-ringers, Sharps, round balls, a carved Minnie, and a Cleaner Type 1. Also got a few whatsits, a small brass make-up compact with elephants and palm trees on it, a gas lantern part, and a shell frag. Even though I didn't my shell, it was still cool watching him dig it. He was super happy and pretty much sat down the rest of the day. HH!
A few relics today, and an Artillery Shell!!!

Very cool hunt. I have only found a one pounder from the French Indian war & shell fragments from spherical & Reed shells. I never saw a whole one dug. Man I going to move to Richmond.

Awesome finds! Especially the big explode-y one. I'm a bit jealous of that, haha.
