A Few Saves From The Missouri Battlefield

[jimmyk]

Back to the Missouri battlefield I've been hunting off and on for thirty years. It continues to grudgingly give up some relics on every trip. Used my trusty F 75 SE. At the top are some rimfire cartridges. Below that is a piece of a harmonica and a coat weight. Below that is a nice .69 cal. Rifled Musketoon bullet. Found others with the blunt nose before. Also has a flat spot at the back of the cavity. Next to it is a mystery item. It's thin lead with a flat top and a rectangle hole in one side. Thought it might be a whistle, but not sure. Also, it had wood inside which came out in pieces with a dental pick. The rest are assorted shot bullets. Love the big .69 cal bullets. Especially with the ramrod marks at the top. Like the "mushroomed" minie as well.

Thanks for lookin' and keep on diggin'

It's a large area that I've only scratched the surface of. Currently huting on a 270 acre farm where "some" of the action too pace. Relics are widespread, so you have to systematically hunt an area to produce results. It's like eating an elephant You can't get it eaten in one meal.

Thanks for looking,
