Always clean the dirt out of your CW bullets. Found my first star based 3 ringer.

These are the bullets from this hunt:http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/t...-kg-ii-my-daughter-finds-first-cw-bullet.html last Saturday and just now got around to cleaning them. Sometimes I don't clean them out at all, even though I know they could have markings. Just a lazy habit. But after cleaning these all out and on the last one, turns out I have my first star based 3 ringer. Pretty sweet! So remember to always clean out the cavities of your CW bullets...that's a reminder for me as well.

I had no idea those bad boys even existed. Not like I'll ever find one up north, but I am glad you did! Nice hunting.

Thanks for sharing that 'lil gem.

Nice Finds Matt!
I found my first star based earlier this year, it's amazing how many variations there are with the 3 ringers alone.
