not too pretty but I did find it today!

Yeah it's pretty ugly but it is the cup of a Hotchkiss shell. The piece below it is part of the sabot that was about three feet away. I hunted around for the rest of the shell but didn't find it. This makes the fourth partial Hotchkiss to come out of this site. Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting!

Nice find, hunting deep with the Nautilus?...Don't know how that was missed.

No I was hunting with the Deus. It was only about six inches deep. I'm surprised it wasn't found too!
