    Saturday's colonial hunt with Del

    Well, the Pequot Indian hunt was a bust for me lol Nothing good to show from it. Dan saved his pride by sneaking in a musket ball last minute It was a perfect day too lol But one of the other guys did find a brass point and some more musket balls. Another club member may have found a musket rest. So overall it was a good hunt. Afterwards, we wanted to get back to the spot that gave me the 2 coppers last week and Dan's Vermont baby head colonial coin. Since the first half of the day was not that great, we were going there to redeem ourselves. Nope, not for me lol Got some relics, but no coins this time. Oh well, I guess I have to wait until I can have a crack at it on Saturday again. Here's my haul:

    lol Yeah, I think Dan got a Wheat penny lol I got nothing, not even a Memorial. I found all those at the Pequot hunt and were all returned to the land owners along with all the trash too . That stuff I didn't miss. I figured the next couple of hours at the cellar hole would produce at least one big copper, but not for me I am on a one hunt copper drought. I can't stand it already 8/

    Re: Saturday's colonial hunt with Del

    I'm thinking some kind of blank gun. It's not steel and is some kind of white metal. But the firing design is way too odd for a play gun. The weight is also very heavy for a play gun. If it is a play gun, it would be old, when they made things heavy and to last lol I wish I could have kept it but that was not the deal
