Finally getting around to posting finds from last week's hunt. We had a two inch snow early last week here in Missouri, followed by two nights of below zero temps. Then, the day time temps started to creep above the freezing mark, so I decided to see if my site was frozen. Surprisingly, it was still "diggable", although some areas were getting "stiff". I like hunting in new snow in the one to two inch accumulations. It's easy to see where you have hunted and if you are "gridding" off an area, it's easy to see your tracks.
Found a nice .69 cal. musket baall, a fairly nice .54 ca; Merrill, two really nice .36 cal. teardrops and a couple shot bullets. The clump of lead is a thin sheet of lead folded over several times. Found three pieces of harmonica reeds, a part off an umbrella, part of a spur, a suspender clip, a shoe toe protector, and part of a small oil lamp. All in all, a pretty nice "snow hunt".
