Back To Missouri Battlefield

Had the chance to hit one of my favorite spots. A Missouri CW battlefield. Hit three different parts of this large area. A large household garden spot, a large open hayfield with clean sandy soil, and a rocky picket post on a hill overlooking a creek. The darker bullets came from the garden area and the rocky soil. Lots of minerals. Used my F 75 SE and my new Blisstool detctor with a 15" coil, for the open field hunting. At the top is an advertising thimble with the words "HOLLAND FUrNACES make warm friends". What it was doing in the middle of a hayfield, far from any buildings, or hint of buildings (nails, etc.) is hard to figure. Below it is a nice complete General Services uniform button with a small crack on the bottom edge. It's hard to find complete buttons, anymore. Seems like I used to find more of them. Now, just backs and fronts. This one is complete with shank. On either side of it are two .69 cal. two ringed Rifled Musketoon bullets. Found about fifty feet apart. Always a good find. The coin is a 1910 wheat penny. The bullet in the bottom center is heavily chewed and came from the picket post area. Nice weather for hunting, but the forecast is for a wintery mix tomorrow, here in Missouri.

Thanks for lookin'

I would like to get a few of those musketoon .69'ers sometime:drool:...............Mark
 
Good finds and nice hunt. :thumbup:
 
Nice finds, Jimmyk. Ya know, if'n you want to make new friends, just call. I'd drive up from southern Missouri to meet you, especially, if'n you were taking "new friends" to your battlefield site. :)


You should be very pleased with that haul. Maybe the snow will make the ground wet and soft, and you will continue your great luck on your next hunt.

Best of luck in 2013!
