Me and my daughter went out about 4:30, the spot is mostly CW so I dig all targets. I had a small iron target which I figured to be a nail. When I got down to dig i found the point, or arrowhead as some call. The target ended up being an old square nail, which I'm preserving and will carry as a good luck charm. My secound favorite find is the round ball, you can see 3 indents on the one side, suggesting buck and ball. Also the one shot minie ball with the flat back had a really irony signal, which is usually the case of a very deep bullet, it was shallow maybe 2 inches. Any info on the flat back bullet type is welcomed, it has 2 maybe 3 grooves all of which are shallow. Thanks for looking, and HH!

The bullets are cool but that point is awesome! :occasion14:
 

To update this post, the iffy signal bullet is a .52cal sharps, thanks to all for looking. If anyone wants to see this hunt look up South Fork Relic Hunters on youtube, I always try to capture most of my finds on video.
 

Great finds. I've found a few round balls with the bucky ball indentations and I hot glued buckshot to one of them. Makes a cool display. Your arrow head looks great. Congrats

HH, RN
 

Nice recovery of artifacts. Beautiful projectile point, congratulations!
 

Very well done sir... the point and bullets are both projectiles... however, from radically different cultures.

Juxtaposition is what that is called in college boy talk.
