My Finds on 10-16-2006

Not much but more than I really expected from this hunted out area! I think Ken finally got my old machine fixed!! I know for sure that I've gone over some of these targets before.....but the machine had kicked them out!
One of the round balls measures .700 to .705, the .32 cal. colt with the sprue is neat! The best Button has a Waterbury Button Co. rmdc backmark.
It's still warm (upper 80's) but I had to get out for a while.....Fall is near and I'm ready!

Hoping Everyone The Best, HH, Roger

Nice to see some fresh relics posted Roger and nice to see ya got a chance to go dig! I am jealous and still waiting to go swing the machine!
Are you sure that's a Colt? It sorta looks like a lead finial! Maybe CSA if it is a finial!
Nice buttons too! The one on the right could be an Eagle I! it has the shield shape of a lettered Eagle!

Hey Travis,
I believe it to be a Colt pistol bullet with the uncut sprue.....here's a stitched better view.

I'm ready to try this machine on some of those other places I hunted earlier this year! Happy Hunting, Roger

I can see what you mean now. I suppose it was field cast then!
Looks like the machine is ready to go Roger. Glad you got it working right!
