Lots of Vintage Shotgun Shell Ends

[awhitster]

I went and walked a bunch of trails by our park today. I found 13 shot gun shell bottoms. 12, 20 and 410 gauge. I found a copper bracelet marked Pure Copper and 18 coins for $1.65. With all the shells I would think some old coins got dropped. Not today.

That bracelet is a real cracker! How do you like hunting trails? I have a few on my to hunt soon list.

I found some shot shell butts last week. You know they are old when theres no plastic attached.Great finds as always.

You may be able to pass those shotgun shells for clad coins.

Maybe some shotgun shell rings in the future?

I htink I should make one. It has to be easier to pound than a coin. that SS Shell site is great.
