Some ringtails and other nice drops

[silversweeper]

Here are my latest finds from a spot I've been hunting over the past few weeks. Am only able to get on the site after hours when it is not being used so my hunt times are usually not long. Included in one grouping is a small sterling ring I found, not old but still silver. What I seem to be finding on this site are small camp/tent areas where there are a few bullets dropped. When I find the first one I try to circle that area carefully and usually end up finding anywhere from 4 to 8 in the close vicinity. Unfortunately I believe the main part of the camp was destroyed and bulldozed when the large public building on the site was constructed many years ago. I hate to think what was lost! I think I am up to about 2 dozen bullets of various calibers so far, mainly Sharpes ringtails. Found a half dollar last week but it was a bicential dropped recently and not the 1800's coin I wish it were.

Nice bullets, got to be some other camp items nearby.. If they dropped bullets, they dropped just about anything else.

Nice finds.. I ran into a similar site a few years ago that yielded many bullets and wondered what had been lost when nearby buildings were built next to the site.
The area of the finds made had been undisturbed for many years and was just being cleared to put up a building.. luckily the contractors allowed us to search site after work hours.
We found around 150 bullets there and they were all sharps .52 cal. rounds.
Keep hittin' that site and get all the goodies you can!!!

Those are some good finds, Sweeper. Definetly on a good spot. To dig ringtails or .69's near Richmond, Va, we hafta cross the river to the north side. There, we occasionally dig them. Like i said, great digs, and keep on hittin' it!
