Arry 18,588 Posted January 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Out yesterday for few hours not much lumps of lead which I've started to keep, 3 washers ffs a plane oval horse brass, Broken buckle a coin with faces gone other crap. But did find a Lead Token. And a Bullet think it from a musket as no grove on the bullet from a casing. Weighing 33 grams fare lump if that hit you. I have found others of the same caliber but they have the groves from the cartridge. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I keep trying to find the firing point as it must be a rifle range.....I figure they probably lay down or kneeled on the firing point, or constantly putting there hands inside pockets etc.....got to be coins and stuff dropped there 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This was a single in open field. The others .450 and .557 near the range all have groves where the cartridge held the bullet. This one could be paper cartridge or muzzle loading.

Arry 18,588 Posted February 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 Bit knackered today was ferreting yesterday but dry day so went out. Two half crowns 1929 and 1935 two foot apart a badly eroded George the 3rd half penny, some horse brasses bit and pieces. Must have had about a dozen 12 bore cartridge ends bloody things.

Arry 18,588 Posted February 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 Couple hours yesterday half a dozen coins most with the faces etched away a thimble, old penknife and a small rim fire cartridge case which I think is .177 or .170 I'll be honest didn't know they did rim fire that small. Writing seems to be " TICL AVD CAESAR " not sure if that means Julius Caesar. Probably does. Cheers Arry 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
