I know this does not exactly qualify as a 'today's find' but thought it may spark an interest in the subject.

I got bored this winter so I decided to spice up some of my more abundant finds.... the good old shotgun shell head stamp >:( Here is a board that I made. It displays every unique head stamp that I have found over the years. Just this past weekend (first hunt of 2008 post) I found two unique head stamps that I did not have.

The board rows left-right display 10 gauge, 12 gauge, 16 gauge, 20 gauge. The close-up is the 12 gauge section. It's kinda fun because some of them date into the mid and late 1800's.

This little board gives me a reason to be 'happy' :D 8) :-\ when I find a shot gun shell. I thought I'd share it with you all just for something different. Thanks for looking.

I'd like to do the same with mine....only problem is that I'm constantly finding the older one's,almost like a poor man's coin collection.I have that love /hate thing going with them.....As a hunter,something like the display would be cool displayed within my duck mount's.Thank's for the Pic's

I really like your display board. I have 4 old ones I found, they're really neat. Putting them on a board like you have really makes them look super nice. Thanks for sharing this with us, gave me a good idea. :icon_thumleft:

:wink: RR

Neat!

I've dug some on my property dating to the 30's and I figure maybe some hunter dropped a coin fishing a shell out of his pocket.

But so far . . .

Good idea with the display. I may hafta start one of those.

You know it is a long winter when you start trying to match up fireing pin impressions to see if some were fired from the same gun like me.
