(give or take two years)
It was unsually warm yesterday so I decided to hit a spot I've more or less hunted out.
Note: i've pulled out coins dating back to the late 1800s and some civil war finds (bullets, harness leather w/copper rivets, a single damaged cavalry button) at this site in the past.
Well, I discovered some pulled up concrete/asphault construction had been done there & about 3 inches of bare earth had been skimmed off the top. Detected it for almost 4 hours straight. Some ground was frozen solid, while other parts were easier.
Its been a long time since I have detected and found something decent. Its good to be back (I'm gonna be sore for a couple of days).
Here are my finds ..... (That's a sharps bullet... correct? And if so... what variety?)
edit: it took me a good 10 minutes to chip away the frozen earth around that bullet so I could get it out of the ground without damaging it.... I thought I was going to break another lesche!
