Default CW bullet and more! Whoohoo!

Met up with TNRookie aka Don, this morning and headed to a place in history called Missionary Ridge. A historic CW area. He was granted permission to hunt a house and yours truly was more than happy to join.
The bullet hit something no doubt. Its my second bullet in a month.:spin: The silver coin looking thingy reads "HALF BUCK PLAY COIN", and on the reverse "50" with a star stamp. I thought it was a aluminum siding puchout.
One of the dog tags has the name and phone# of the dog. Should I call it and try to return it?
Managed 4 wheaties, 55x2 47 and 46. No silver again.
Was a great day out with a friend.

Nice finds and you scored my favorite, the wheaties.. You found them there so I'm sure there's some Silver too to uncover..

I had a blast today and this weekend. Got my new detector (upgrade from El-Cheap_oh) and I am on fire. Today hunting with Brian I got my first silver Merc 1942 and a play coin of some type. On the front of the coin it has president James Monroe and has the dates 1817 and 1825, on the back it says SHELL'S (like the gas station?) Mr. President coin game. Must have some metal in it cause I found it.

Yesterday on an outing by myself I found my first two rings. Dont know if they are real or not yet but the wife has a claim on them. One is an engagement style with a diamond in the center, the other has small diamond like rocks that go all the way around the band.

As well another pic of my lucky coin found on my first dig with the new detector.

Nice finds.

Looks like the soldier that chewed that one was in some real bad pain.

Some people call them hospital bulletts.

Happy Hunting,

Congrats on your second bullet, in addition to all the nice finds. Nice to see some members of my new TN family tearing it up.

I was just reading about Missionary Ridge this weekend.
