Wish that I had all the good stuff Roger found but... Still, it was good to be out and hunting with a good friend. Found a few bullets, lots of clad, a couple of brass stud hooks, some other small brass items, button back, etc. Happy hunting all.

Hey Travis, Nice finds and most of all you were able to share your digging with a Close Friend!! Your days coming for the greatest find ever! It's a proven fact that one cannot dig the stuff while sitting on the couch!
Hey Boobie, I wouldn't say I'm good at this hobby, just presistant! I've had several days continuing for months (year in and year out) without much to show (average 1 relic per hour and the driving for 90+ miles round trip as well)! I continued to ask question, ask names, call asking permission, knock on doors and I finally found a new place to dig last week! I know that old machines weren't able to hunt the trash or the digger wouldn't mess with the trash! That's the places I look for the most (in the general area where CW Relics can be found)! Either the troops camped there or the occupants in the house found it and brought it home to be thrown out later?
Travis, I hope you and Bill are able to hunt together some more before his departure and hoping you both the best finds ever!!
I enjoyed talking with you the other evening!
Keep Swinging, Happy Hunting, Roger

I should clarify. The two fired bullets were from the day before! The two knapsack hooks came from the paddock Bill. Right after you left, I went around the ring one more time and hit the hooks and button back!!
