Back to the ballfield

Foragist · Jul 28, 2018

Went back to the ballfield I found 4 silvers and some wheats in the other day. Today, the targets were scarce, but I still managed 5 wheats, 2 Rosies,(silver #14 & 15 fty) and some more ammunition. I think the broadhead was my first ever detected arrowhead, so I was happy to join the arrowhead club. Then, when cleaning my finds at home, I discover the odd shell casing I found was actually an arrowhead too! It still has some wood in it, and you can see little dimples where it was crimped onto the shaft. I think it may be a .38 caliber.

Nice haul! Ballfields are probably my favorite hunting grounds. Always seem to produce. Congrats!

Another very nice outing Blaise. Congrats on adding two more Silver's. Trapper

Nice hunt - congrats on double silver!

The arrowheads are cool - the .38 caliber arrowhead is interesting - I guess someone made a homemade blunt tip arrow from a shell casing?

Congrat - HH!

Thanks. I got this one pretty clean now. Can't seem to find any old stuff in the rest of that park. Hmm.

Thanks Trapper. I picked up a few more silvers on Sunday. Remember when you were at 19 fty? :lol:

I'm at 19 now, and for me it's shaping up to be a decent year for silvers.

Thank you. I just read last week that Mud Puppy used to make arrows with .38 shell casing bludgeon tips. Could it be? :lol:

Used to use 38's all the time for varmint hunting. Does some serious damage if you even clip a squirrel or rabbit! Also helped keep the arrow above ground! With a sharp field tip your arrow tends to want to bury itself under the dirt!!

Nice hunting, Foragist! Silver, wheats, and some cool arrowheads - all adds up to a fine day in the field!
