Squeezed in another four hours this morning at the military camp site determined to find a silver coin. It didn't happen and I found mostly the same sort of stuff, shells and grot coins.
A couple of different finds did turn up mind. Take a look at the candle holders haha...bit different. I dug all the parts in a 3 foot square area.
The usual shells and grot coins with some large chunks of lead. Also dug 4 musket balls and a tobacco tin.
Below are a couple of pictures of two finds which I never brought home. The large pick-axe head was just too big and heavy to carry around and the live round too dangerous. They were both disposed of sensibly.

Are you finding live ammunition?
ReplyDeleteYes on this occasion I found the live round pictured. Live blanks are more commonly found. The last time I took live rounds into the police station I just got the impression I was wasting their time and inconveniencing them, so now I re-bury them well beyond detecting range in an out of way place.
DeleteWow, that would scare me. Be careful please....
