    Rainy hunt today

    Well it poured in Mystic today, just like it does every Thursday that I go down there. Started at 8AM and by the time 2PM rolled around I was completely soaked, even the insides of my boots Tried my video set up but almost every target was a 22 slug. Did manage 3 keepers today- a flat piece of brass, a flat button and a monster Native American point! That is my 2nd point there and the 3rd overall from that field. The picture is not very good as it was pretty dark and pouring out when I got this one. This camera does not like lack of sunlight, but for $70.00 what can I say. At least it's waterproof. I'm definitely feeling the hunt now that I'm at home relaxing. Although this field has produced great finds, we just can't seem to find out which way the retreat went next. Someone needs to drop a musket ball or something

    Thanks everyone. I should have done more research on this camera before I bought it. Impulse buy If I ask for a picture of my finds from the lab right now, I may see them in December

    It's getting harder to get the pictures after they go into the lab. They are swamped there and don't really have a lot of time to do those kind of things. I asked the other day, but next time, I need to bring my other camera. Eventually I will get one
