[size=large]Went back to the field that ran alongside the rural road. Started detecting, and was challenged again by the Hounds of Baskerville. I took some balogne with me today... OK, how far do you think you can throw a piece of balogne? Like a frisbee, maybe 12 feet. They weren't going for it. They came in closer, 3 times today. Instead of reaching for the balogne, I was easing my hand toward the revolver in the shoulder holster. They looked a little too threatening to be taking pictures of at 10 feet away.[/size]

[size=large]Anyway, after the demon dogs left, I found my first bullet: a fired 3 ringer. Always happy to see a bullet.[/size]

[size=large]Got a nice sweet signal, but it was only reading 3" depth; was surprised to retrieve this large cent. Its pretty corroded, and can't make out the date yet, but it is covered with a nice green patina.[/size]

[size=large]Hmmm... this is interesting. I wonder if its what I think it is.[/size]

[size=large]Walked into the little patch of woods trying to find the old graveyard the guy told me was there; still haven't found it. But did come across this possum that I thought was playing possum, but nope; deader'n a door nail![/size]

[size=large]Yep, its a side plate and hammer off a percussion firearm. I am guessing Civil War. Just not sure what that hunk of metal is in front of the hammer, must be something that swung around at one time and is now frozen in place with rust

i bet you a buck this is what maynard tape primer lock...... lets see it when it's all cleaned up?
 
So I carry pepper spray.I have a good field I hit when they cut it,the first time there the dog next door come came in to wild and crazy on me so I gave him a real small shot of the stuff.When right in his mouth and nose.He did some wild crying and dancing on his way home.That was three years ago and he still comes out barking but he stays about 30-40 feet from me now.Some good finds Vernon.When you find a spot that's hot do you go out 50-100 yards from the spot to see if you can find the area it was shot from and taking fire them self?
 
[size=large]The only bad thing around here is that shooting someone's dog, even if he is aggressively challenging you in a threatening way, shooting him is a FELONY in the state of Virginia. Being charged with a felony means you are no longer able to legally carry a gun, or even possess a gun in your home, because you are a convicted FELON! Is that crazy, or what? You have to be BITTEN first before you can shoot a dog.

We just had to take a guy to court because his dog comes into people's yards... that's spelled private property, and threateningly challenges people in the neighborhood. He is always breaking his chain, and scaring kids to death. He hasn't bitten anyone yet, but he is a mean dog. A bunch of us did took the owner to court. If his dog gets loose one time in the next year, he will be destroyed. We could have had him destroyed the day we went to court; in fact, the judge wanted to put the dog down, but we all agreed to give the guy one last chance, but we let him know we were serious.

As far as backtracking fired bullets, the place I'm hunting is a hit and miss running gun battle along the road when Lee was headed towards Appomattox at the end of the war.

Most dogs are all show,but sometimes you feel that if you move your going to get bite.He's the only one in all the years I've been detecting than was just to crazy and wouldn't let me move for ten minutes.
