Digging out the nails

[kaolinwasher]

found an old shell on the 1862 homestead , I have hunted out this spot until no more signals will come out , so I have resorted to using the all metal mode on the tracker 4 and after digging out some cut nails I got a good target , Now I bet more awaits, the removal of the iron so I will take it to that level.dig every nail out. a coin could be in that mess .

Who knows what lies beneath. However I know you will get to the bottom of it. (Pun intended) Good luck Gunnar!

Love those older brass casings, helps to date the area as well.

From an article from the University of Alaska at Fairbanks:

"Winchester began with the "W.R.A.Co" headstamp and used it until 1928..."
