TID was 31, I dug the plug hoping for a silver quarter.... but found a bullet ? ......a silver bullet ? ......did The Lone Ranger drop one ? ......w

Nah, after getting it out it then rang up varying between about 20-22 on my Nox 800, but my initial thought when finding it was "a silver bullet ?"

Hey, at least my trash to non-trash ratio was down with Thursday's (Oct 24) hunt, only 3 trash finds along with 6 non-trash finds !

Here is a pic of the bullet along with 2 dimes and 3 pennies, the 1964 penny has a steel look to it but I know that is just the appearance for some reason.

Here are close ups of the bullet and 1964 penny - (any bullet experts recognize what type it is ?)

GKL, what's this all about ?? Are you trying to make the rest of us green with envy ? To be drooling over our computer keyboards ? To make yourself the almighty-of-metal-detecting and gloat beyond measure ??

I mean, sheesk, none of us has ever found a copper 1964 memorial, or bullet shell, or zinc penny before. No need to be a show-off ! Therefore, please, ..... be a bit more humble in the future. Ok ?

Thanks, just did a quick measurement, the bullet is roughly 3/8 inch wide and 5/8 inch long.



Digging up more non-trash finds than trash is nice !





Hey, I'm just excited to be starting to learn my new Nox 800 enough to dig less trash, at least on Thursday's hunt
