More coins with the ACE

[wheath22]

Found another 18 pennies in my yard yesterday. I can't believe how many coins I have dug in my own yard. I did make one strange find, a 50 cal. bullet,one from a M2 machine gun. What the heck was that doing in my backyard? Taking the ACE to an old homesite tomorrow. I hope it will be as productive as my yard

Was the 50 cal. a live round or just the casing? That is unusual....I find lots of .22's and 30.06's...I found this old rimfire round at an old homesite. A person in town here who is a gun collector told me he figured it was late 1800's...and maybe a .38..was'nt entirely sure of the caliber.

It was a fired 50 cal bullet, my house is nowhere near a military base so I can't figure out where this bullet came from. I guess someone must have dropped it there. I know its a .50 cal bullet because I was a small arms repairman in the Army and have lots of expirience with ammo and weapons. You never know what you are going to find.

Cool finds!Interesting indeed, to find a Ma Deuce round in the back yard. Probably just a little surplus/trinket type item that somebody had. Dropped by some kid in the backyard years ago. Cool find, though. Thanks for sharing!Happy Hunting!

Spmeome could have fired it from miles away or up in the air and gravity done the rest. I find fired rounds in strange places.
