Havn't gotten out much and missed detecting today so decided to upload some pictures and post these for you all to enjoy. These pictures actually represent about a half dozen hunts. 7 of the mercs and one of the barbers came from one site, one barber (the one I scratched the back of with the digger.....grrr) and the bullet came from another hunted out site. The 69 cal bullet I at first thought was shot but on closer inspection it appears to be one that was pushed and pryed out of the back of the gun. It has a circular ramrod mark on the top and several places around the base that look like something similar to a pocket knife was used to pry it out. Not sure as I've never seen one like this before. The token pictured with a trio of mercs and a half a locket is a Seattle Washington Municipal Railways Full Fare token....a long way from home here in Southeast Missouri. The locket half is heavily gold plated and I probably would not have found it except that it must have been laying on top of some excavated dirt when they washed the concrete truck shoot out.....it was stuck in a thin film of cured concrete. Still a cool find and appears to be pretty old. The little squashed button was found in a local sidewalk/road pull out recently. I figured it was a button when I found it but it took me a while to clean it up and see the GAR imprinted on the smashed front. GAR is Grand Army of the Republic, making this button a Civil War Veteran's. Wish it was in better shape but still neat to find. There are some large pack/saddle rivets that came from a hunted out park. Found those and a 1911 barber fairly close together. The barber was right off the end of a buried shovel head (go figure) that must have been masking its signal all this time, until I hit it from the right direction. I know I and others have detected over it before and it was only about 4 inches deep! There are also some other odds and ends, a few fired pistol round balls, some smashed cartridges of different calibers. A buffalo nickel and some wheaties, and some lead pack seals.
