Hi, all:
I'm pretty much doing all my relic hunting in all metal, unless the site is extra junky. Then I go 6 disc, monotone. Today was an all metal day with sens. set at 90. Had a good day with finds from surface, all the way down to 10 inches deep. Found four shell frags, two pieces of cannister (one iron ball from a six pound cannon and a lead ball from a James shell), along with a nice pile of round balls. No three ringers, which is unusual. The best bullet was a first of it's kind for me.Just below the cannister is an M&M #81. A 44 cal. Colt Dragoon-early type. The only piece of brass was a tent grommet. Love the F 75 for deep relic hunting. It's the deepest I've found for my ground here in Missouri.
Thanks for looking, and keep on diggin'
