A few relics from today.

I was able to get back to my honey hole again today. I'm in an unusual situation in life that allows me to hunt more than I normally would, so.......Off I go to try and round up a few more relics while I can. The morning just sucked!! I dug nothing but trash with an occasional percussion cap and a piece of lead here and there. I told myself I would move to another spot and if the trend continued, I was outta there. Fortunately I was able to meander to a hot spot that finally started to give it up and was able to salvage the day. Most of the finds came within the last couple of hours of the hunt and I left feeling very gratified and tired!!! I scored what I believe are 2 Confederate ringtail Sharps, but, I could be mistaken. I'm loving the Nox for this kind of hunting.

My settings were:

Nox 800

Park 2

11" coil

GB 0

Recovery 6

Iron Bias 0

2 Tones

Tone break -9 to +8

Sens 21

Disc -9 to 0

Nice assortment---looks like a blank or grenade firing cartridge in the modern hull collection.

Thank you Doc. They are blanks, they used to do reenactments on the old parade grounds.

Nice hunting Dan

No wonder you were tired, that's a lot of digging/retrieving. Like the buttons, are they identifiable?

One is a Dragoon, the other I assume is an Eagle coat button. All from the 1850's early 1860's

nice finds!
