    the July 12th update was a great one George , the weather was perfect cool 70's temps with a beautiful coastal breeze | | you did very well and i couldn't believe the size of that musket ball an i also thought the buckle half looked period (1600's) all i recovered was some very suspicious looking lead maybe from a bar or ingot and some non-ferrous scraps

    Friday's hunt was hot Felt like 100 degrees. That is the first hunt at Saybrook, where no one found anything good I'm hoping Wednesday's hunt is better (and cooler too.) We are going to find a point if we have to dig every piece of can slaw there lol
