The snow melted & ground thawed out enough to get out to do some relic hunting finally. I went after work also. Ive been working 7 days a week & have cabin fever lol. So I went somewhere close to home. Glad I did because I recovered a pretty rare bullet. These Gardiner explosive bullets were only used in two major battles. Chancellorsville and Gettysburg after that they were deemed too barbaric to use. These were dumped by the 2nd New Hampshire regiment of the 3rd corps Army of the Potomac a day before the battle began.
