Back to the relic field

[Larry (IL)]

I thought maybe I could get a little hunt in before the rain came after work. I hunted in a mist most of the time not knowing when the heavy rain was going to start. Well, it started pouring at 4:30 but by then I had a couple of hours in and the goodies to call it a nice hunt. The usual Civil War relics and a couple of surprises. The 1917 half wasn't too deep, four inches but was covered in dirt like and oldie..... I was hoping it would fall into the Civil War era.. wasn't to be. Neither was the 1877 well worn Seated quarter but still....... I was a happy hunter. Does anyone else see the skull with a hole in his head in the chewed ,69 cal. Minnie? It really stands out with side lighting, I will try to play with it some. I am really pleased with the rivets, they still have the canvas or leather still in them.
