Missouri Cold Weather Relics

[jimmyk]

Hi, All:

We've had quite a cold snap here in Missouri for the last week. Lows sometimes as low as mid teens, and highs around freezing. Fortunately, the ground hasn't started to freeze, as yet. Pictured is the results of eight hours of hunting with the F 75. A brass wedding ring, a harmonica reed piece, two nice dropped .54 cal Sharps, a shot .54 cal Merrill, a shot .58 cal minie, a shot .36 cal teardrop and assorted other shot pistol balls. Hope to get out a couple of more times before Winter set in for real and the ground gets like concrete.

keep on diggin' and thanks for lookin'

Ground was like concrete here in Va. until a few wks ago we finally had rain. Now it'll be able to freeze. We have dug some Richmond sharps but none of those. You sure about harmonica reed. Thats odd. Great finds!

Harmonica reeds are a common find in camps and old town sites here in Missouri.
