My neighbor is an awesome fella

[IowaRelic]

I got a permission from an older gentleman at the end of my street. It couldn’t have come at a better time as I’ve just been kinda discouraged at my lack of legitimate spots. Plus he and his wife are amazing people and I’ve had a lot of fun just being around them. He’s got a few acres and an old roadbed that I’ve been researching runs through. He agreed to let me hunt. I’ve made 2 trips. Total about 5 hours. I got the artillery piece from my last thread, and we got some bullets and my partner got a pewter button. All from the back yard + or - 3 acres. Lots of moved dirt, gravel and fill. Only a few areas that had old dirt and relics.
Today was the front yard. No fill. All old dirt. Lovely! Found my biggest patch of dropped bullets ever. Totaling 10 in a roughly 8 foot square. All but 2 are Washington Arsenal .58 star base and 1 spoke. Others are dropped Williams cleaner and dropped .58 three ringer. Stoked! Using DEUS. Not too many star base or spoke base bullets come up around here.

I gave the property owner 2 of the star base drops and the cleaner. Not bad for an hour hunt!

That is some great saves on the CW lead. Those star based bullets are cool. You really did well. Congrat's
