Todays finds

Brin-PA · Apr 9, 2007

I got out for a couple hours today . The copper disk had two hooks on it but I can’t get any detail from it . A few Wheaties . The most unusual find was this old shotgun shell . It still has paper on it!! How the heck did the paper last all these years ? ……Brin

Good finds Brin ~ I always enjoy finding a wheatie!

I don't know why the paper is still on that shell, but yesterday i found an old spool of thread with all the thread on it, and the site was 150-200 years old.

No , nothing is on the front, its smooth. When i dug it I quickly flipped it over, thinking I had something good . Its heavy and seems well made .

In this months Western& Eastern a guy found a thimble at an old cellar hole . It was stuffed with cloth from the 1800s . I thought that was pretty neat .

I think you are right Vlad . This one probably had a little extra wax . I just found it unusual because Over the years I dug hundreds of these shells . This was the first with paper . Brin
