One field...7 types of lead

[tymcmurray]

Civilman and I hit a spot today that we haven't got much out of,
If you don't count his half dime, LOL.
I was lucky enought to find a few firsts for me. Three to be percise.
Finds included,

69 musket Ball
3 - 58 three ringers
3 - bucks
Gardner
Gardner type 175
Gardner type 169
Carcano (Never even heard of this one before)

We had a GREAT day just detecting, recovering a little history, and
telling our stories (You know, "That one was bouncing so bad I almost
didn't dig it" and "That was a SOLID 27").

Wow! 69 cal. that's huge. The only gun I know that fired them is a Continental Army flintlock pistol.
