We spent half the day talking to land owners while scouting new areas. Went to Camp 54 and dug some drops for about 4 hours. We try to scout new spots so we can rotate them and not wear out our welcome at any one spot. This has been working well for us. Tsgman

Beautiful finds Tim. As always you make me very envious. These East Coast areas are so over hunted but I know that eventually I will get into an area like that! The Savage bullet is quite nice!!!! I am curious though! You are digging a lot of lead but what is the brass like? Since you dug the three plates has the brass finds been harder to get? I would think in those camp areas the buttons and other accoutrements would be in abundance!

Great Finds and Many of them! I am also very envious as I haven't found that many bullets in one outing in some time now! Only memories of or dreams of that many finds in one outing anymore!
Travis brought up a good point, "Where's the Brass"?
Continued Success, HH, Roger

You know we usually dig 1 or 2 buttons every time we go, the problem is most of them look like the one in my pics. They come out with just the back or with the front so degraded it falls into pieces. Believe me if they were there we would be digging them. At first we also wondered why so few buttons. My buddy and I both use xlt's and were thinking that the sheer number of bullets were crowding out the button signals, but we have dug around 600 to 700 bullets and only dug about 20 button's with only a few that were not eat up. I assume it's due to fertilizer?

The Eagle buttons are just so fragile they get eaten up from ground action and all kinds of adverse affects! Especially the general service buttons. I still enjoy seeing the bullets though!
