I stayed in a US Forest Service cabin way out in the woods near Crater Lake over the Thanksgiving weekend and casually swepted my MD
 
I have found "deer slugs" either right on top of the ground or maybe a 1/2" or so down in the ground. Most likely these were shots that missed their intended target. Most years, depending on the weather, the ground would at the least be frozen and/or snow covered during the hunting seasons. I think your theory on how they got there is "spot on".

Yeah..very cool! .you find the brass and then take a look around where the intended target could be...or find the slug and take a look around as to where the shot might have come from..really a fun way to use the detector...depending upon the area like you were in, lots of brass, on a deck, pretty easy to figure out the shooting lane... my theory on yours is somebody shot a jug full of water, or a beer can or something with their nine, just to watch it explode, and there lay the bullets in the spring...maybe they even built a snowman holding a can of beer and shot him? :rofl: "Alright Frosty,take my beer will ya? reach for your gun!" Or, maybe they lined up cans of beer on the porch railing and had a go? ....anyway, thats really cool, to find a case or slug and find its matching component...puts you into another humans footprints in a different time...
