First off.....sorry I have not been on the site in a LLLLLLOOOONNNNGGGGG while. Last year was just not a good year for me for personal reasons. I do hope this year fairs out better.
On that note my detecting season seems to be going pretty good. I am late but I went for my first detecting session on Friday to my atv trails just for poops and chuckles...and it is in walking distance from home. Anyway my first signal on a path i have detected many times and has a bunch of iron on it I did manage to hear a somewhat good signal, good enough for me to dig and came out with a 3 ringer bullet that is flattened. I do not know what time period they used these bullets and if they were used in regular hunting rifles or not but since I did find 4 eagle buttons at this site, maybe it was from a veteran of the CW.
I also came back with a couple of what is its and a childs thimble. Unfortunately I did not take any pics but can and will post.
The main thing I wanted to ask was I went out again on Saturday with my son and came up with what I thought first was a pocket watch part but now I realize is actually a round harmonica reed. I believe that is what it is anyway. It broke on retrieval but it is all there. Can anyone post a pic or pics of round harmonica reeds so that I may verify that is what I have. I haven't had much luck with pics on google.
Thanks
