Thankgiving weekend hunt

[Larry (IL)]

What a beautiful day here in Illinois to get out hunting this Thanksgiving weekend. It got to 60 or better today, not bad for the end of November. Anyway I had one of my best hunting days in quite a while with a good assortment of goodies including 17 Civil War bullets from pistol .32 up to a monster .69 cal. three ringer and three musket balls. It looks like one of the bullets got rammed into the barrel pretty hard, I had to turn that one up so you could see it. I came across where a house used to be and added some clad and a 1898 IH, four wheats and a 41 Merc to the pouch. A 1920 dog tag and a good for 5 cents in trade at SSS token also came from the house site. Lastly is a large hunk of lead and what looks like a hand forged ring and attachment that I have no idea what that goes to, but a keeper none the less.

Good hunt. Looks like you hit a hot spot.

I just covered a lot of ground is all........ and dug a lot of deep targets. I hunted where you found your Barber dime Daryl.

I thought that corner where the dime was found might be a good producer. I'm glad you were able to get in there and work it. I hope some of your finds came from there. Daryl
