    Copper & Musket Ball

    Got out for a bit yesterday afternoon, as we have summer hours at work.

    Went back to my not so virgin spot & was able to nab another copper & a musket ball.

    Targets are getting hard to come by but I know there are more targets there as I wander further & further out from the hole.

    Nice score on the copper 2 good targets from a worked over hole is not bad. I have had some good luck recently going out further from the cellar hole. Good luck at it.

    The weather has just been delightful for hunting! I hope there is lots of land for you to continue wandering. The sound of a copper always gets your heart rate up. Congrats!

    Nice musket ball. I'd love to find one, but they're VERY rare in these parts.

    Thanks! No way to tell as it's completely shot. All of the coins I've pulled out of here are 1700's so I'm confident it's from 1700's.
