    Four hour park hunt. Think I found a bullet.

    Got to hunt for about 4 hours. Got a lot of clad. Just as much trash. One wheatie. And I think some sort of bullet. Its pretty big.

    Yep! I'm betting a fired 50 cal. round...it amazes me that semi-smart people point guns in the air and fire away,not thinking that bullets fall back somewhere...I find lots of bullets,never a 50 though ,looks like you are getting the hang of that tector,congrats on the wheaty

    That is one big slug I've found some of those and they are monsters. I think a lot of them were used as sniper bullets, but also for machine guns too, I think. Great day of clad hunting and congrats on the Wheaty

    Good finds thumbsup01 Use a caliper to measure the width of the bullet to find the caliber. It is a spitzer boattail.
