I went metal detecting this morning with my XP Deus metal detector.
I hit an old park for two hours and after countless pieces of foil, I decided to change venues. I returned to my old tried-and-true spot at the old trashy park.
Right away I hit a transportation token. Just when I think I’ve gotten the last one from there, I find another one! I am not complaining though, I love them.
Then I found a bullet. I find bullets all the time but this one is a little creepy. Look at the blunt end where the bullet hit something. It sure looks like the pattern shattered bone makes! Maybe I am just seeing things.
The next thing I found, besides the countless pull tabs and foil, was a shot shell. I don’t get excited about shot shells anymore but this one is in such good shape! According to Cartridge Corner (see links on the right), this Winchester shot shell was made from 1884 to 1894. Niiiice.
Last, I found a locket. I don’t know how old it may be but it opens. I will clean it later and try to open it to see what’s in it.
I am happy I got to hunt for a few hours. We finally got some decent rain and the ground is a joy to dig.
Thank you for looking!
That headstamp is in excellent condition. Natalia (our exchange student) dug one a few nights ago and thought it was pretty cool! Hers wasnt in nears as good of shape though.
