Well we got out 11/5 and 11/06 with two freinds from Maryland, the 1st day we went to a spot that has been pounded for many years but still managed to come away with some goodies. I a .69 roundball, lead button, part of a boreman fuse, and some little pieces of lead.
Rob did fairly well ending up with some buck balls, .69 round ball, and some brass. But ole Floyd did the best he got a nice .69 round ball, Confederate Gardner, and 2 Fired 3 Ringers. It was a decent day and we did not get started until late anyway.
The 2nd day we headed down to Bentonville NC to do a little hunting in a spot that hasn't been hunted much because of all the growth in the woods, the landowner had recently cleared the woods and pushed the debris up in big piles to be burned. Within 10 minutes of being there we had all three found at least 3 bullets. Within an Hour we had all found 5-6 bullets and by the end of the day we had all found many bullets. At one part of the day I found an indention in the ground that maybe a tree may have over turned a long time ago and saw 4 bullets on top of the ground. After we finished digging the hole we were able to recover 17 bullets which included 16 dropped 3 ringers and 1 dropped cleaner bullet. The best assumption that we could come up with is maybe a soldier was running through the woods and either got shot or tripped and his Cartridge box spilled out. All in all it made a great 2 days of hunting.
11/08 I was invited to go and dig a site close the town that I live in that I had never hunted before, we only had about 45 minutes to get some hunting time in before it got dark, so off we headed. Upon getting there the person that invited me found 3 pieces of lead with consisted of 1 3 ringer,1 chewed bullets, and a fired minnie ball. I was only able to recover 1 .69 dropped round ball but it was well worth it.
