Back at the gun club site with my F5 and did get a few more lead bullets a few casings and some old coins. One casing was a little smaller than the usual ones I have been finding ( Winchester 32-40)
This one had a stamp of 30-40. After doing a quick research on it, I found out it was orginally made for the Army Rifle, and was made from the 1890's until 1903 when it was replaced by the 30.06. By the photo it had 2 types of lead one short pointed tip and a rounded tip. I have dug quite a few of the short pointed tip lead from this caliber rifle at the gun club area. :yes:
After 2 1/2 hours of digging I ended up with some good items.
