3 hours and 41 targets recovered was about all this Old Hunter could manage before Ol Ma Nature sent in waves that threatened to toss me up onto dry land!!
Summer cottages line this beach and have for over a hundred years. Most are seasonal with a year round home here and there among the hundred or so in the area.
Just about every hunt I have had along the 1/2 mile of beaches in this small town has produced bullets of every kind from 12Ga. deer slugs, to Buck shot, musket balls and quite an assortment of rifle and pistol bullets.
Todays hunt resulted in 7- 9MM pistol bullets, 1- 7MM rifle bullet (One of the longest bullets I have seen in this caliber.) and a lead ball of about .40 Cal. all from a swimming beach!
Fishing sinkers and tackle of one kind or another are no surprise, and part of just about every hunt here, but I can only wonder about the bullets.

An old Canadian silver dime was a surprise find, but gold and silver jewelry and/or coins remain illusive. Maybe tomorrows hunt??
Nothing to get excited about so I haven't posted lately.
