I went to a park a couple of hours from home this morning. I was there about half an hour and I dug an 1889 Indian.
my next signal was from my phone, Tony Two-Cent sent me a text inviting me to meet him for a hunt today. It worked out perfectly because the town he wanted to hunt was only 20 minutes away. Before I left, I dug what I think is a musket ball at 9". Check out the photo and see if you agree. I've never found one before.
I met Tony at 10;00 and we hit 3 parks. At the first one i dug 1926 Buff. At the second, an 1899 Indian, and at the third, a Show Biz Pizza Token. I found no Silver today:crying01: but did find 3 wheats.

The weather was absolutely great, Another good day.


Take a look at the first video I made, and Al edited for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5lNT4nrYAM If you like it, go ahead and subscribe, and tell me how you think we did. Our videos still have a lot of work to be done on them, but this is what we have so far.
Thanks for looking

Love me some Indians and those have some awesome detail and for the musket ball :dontknow: I've never found one either hope someone can help HH
 
I'm glad we were able to get together for a hunt, Don! Your Indian Heads cleaned up nicely, and it's great that your Buffalo Nickel has a date.

I already gave you my opinion on the lead ball. I definitely think it's a musket ball. You can even see the seam from the mold, and a grid pattern from the linen patch cloth. It has a nice white patina too so you know it's old.

Congrats on the finds! :clapping:

Nice finds, those IH's have some great detail left. I noticed that Tony is leading in the silver department but not by much. Still a couple of days left to catch him.... I will agree that it is a musket ball.

I talked to him a little earlier today. Trust me, I don't have a chance. Look for his post
