Had a better Pequot hunt today, as we started to redo some areas near the village site that we did a couple of years ago. No bug bites today eitherEnded up with 10 small round ball and 2 identical small buttons and some other nice lead pieces, on that may be a form of decoration. Mike H did well with his PI unit too, getting a good amount of scrap brass (some holed) and a couple of small round ball. Long hunt but a gorgeous day.

That sounds like a lot of targets. Did you guys hammer this place in the past? I know you and Dan have picked up some new weapons (detectors) recently.
Just wondering if you think the new finds are attributed to the new machine? Or your just still cleaning up the site i.e; "no place is hunted out"?
Still some interesting finds George
Congrats!
Are the buttons from the time period your looking for?

A lot of round balls. Are they the size commonly used back then? Glad to see that the site is still producing. Has it been decided if there are different areas you guys are going to go to? Inquiring minds need to know......

We hit that fields hard a couple of years ago, when the brush was cleared for us . But no one was using any pulse machines back then. We all struggled finding the larger caliber round balls with our E Tracs and DFX's, some as shallow as 4". The small shot was out of the question for those machines under those conditions.Originally Posted by Ill Digger
Information is scare from that time period and sayings like "a certain amount of large shot and small shot was given out" may be the only reference to what was being used. But there was no stopping each individual of bringing their own supply. If I were going away to battle a long way from home, I would bring it all
