Was able to get permission to hunt at a VFW post near my local town to test out my new DFX before going to the cape next week and had a ball. Found mostly old pull tabs from old beer cans. LOL.. i did say its a VFW Post. But did find a boys scout tie badge two bullet casings , but my coolest find was a lead ball all white maybe calsium covered? Is there any possibility this is an old Musket bullet???? im hoping! will post pics when my daughter comes home from camping with camera. Just curious of what you experts might think as im brand new to this hobby?...Also waiting on the ok to hunt a local Drive in built in 1952.... hope its a yes...

Old or Newer??????

Old! The covering is probably an oxide. (rust for lead). It takes a while for it to develop underground. Kinda like copper takes a while to get green and iron takes a while to turn red/brown. I know on the DFX XLT and Eagle Spectrum, the VDI number is almost equal to the caliber. If it reads69 (vdi), it's a 69 caliber. But I think it predates the VFW and is old. How old? Early 1700's to early 1900's. It's hard to pin them down since the guns are still in use today. But I think it's old. Anyone else??

Could be modern hard to tell sometimes, if it wern't a VFW I'd say older and would be a good sign but the VFW guys like to shoot alot. Still cool though. Keep at it. If it's an old VFW pre-1965 there should be a few silver coins hiding there. Old photos can hold alot of clues where the goodies might be.
