Yep, it's that time again to hunt for relics and help prove (or disprove lol) some history. Todays hunt started where yesterday's left off....with NOT MUCH :rolleyes: Finally someone found a huge chunk of iron. They joked about it being part of a cannon. Upon further inspection :confused: It is :shocked04: A blown up cannon fragment. :clapping: I got to detect a couple of yards and found lots of coins and junk. But I did manage to get one item that counted. Del always says I'm lucky lol and in my usual luck, I put the coil to the ground in an area we are looking for large calibur roundball, took a few steps and dug a nice .69 cal lead ball |:confused:) Thank you detecting Gods lol Found some other items and then it was time to pack up for tomorrows hunt. To be continued......[attachimg=1]

Does that ball have something to do with the Pequot battles? Nice buttons too!

That's only because you remind me of Lucky the dog...you know the one that only has 3 legs, hobbles around, blind, missing half it's tail...but is still going..... rofl

It may. We are looking specifically for large caliber roundball that may have been used in an ambush.
