Musketball and Flint :detecting: day!

[Doug[Manila]]

Its summer time here and the ground is real dry and as hard as cement! Two uneventful hours passed before I dug the musketball on a slope. The ball came out at a shallow 2 inches and a few meters away I dug another signal that turned out to be junk but the flint was in the same hole. This is my first flint - always wanted one!
