Hunted an extremely brushy area this week that borders a field which held a large encampment. I was hoping that the briars and bramble may have protected a few goodies from the dozen or so hunters that have beat the open field to death. The first day it was below 40 degrees out with intermittent sprinkles and sleet but... my imagination had me convinced that I was going to come out with a pouch full of relics, so I stayed as long as time and daylight allowed. Was there swinging around saplings and chopping brush with a machette for a long time before I dug a high impact fired Sharps. Later came a fired 44 cal colt and that was about it for the day. A hard, cold day of hunting but I was still feeling my way around the brush and looking for the best hunting spot. Back to it a few days later and was surprised to see someone else was there with the same idea. He'd not had any luck but I'm getting pretty good at sniffing out goodies in hard to get to places so I "waded" in.... Later that afternoon I left with the first dropped sharps I'd ever found as well as a nice 68 cal drop, a perfect 44 cal. colt drop, and a large brass rivet part (dang things ring up like there's really something awesome under your coil!). I felt like I was getting close to zeroing in on a small hot spot, and I badly wanted another sharps to go in the case I'm putting together for my wall so I hit it again today after work for a few hours. I dug 2 more dropped sharps, a hard rammed & dropped 68 cal, as well as a small fired/high impact ball and a strange pistol size bullet that is oddly shaped (any ideas?). Awful lot of hard work for a few bullets but they will look awesome in my collection.
