I was fishing recently on the Potomac river in Harpers Ferry, WV. Fishing was great, I sat down to re-tie on a lure and looked to my right.... What a surprise! This little guy was sitting right beside me. I didn't have to dig at all, it was just sitting in the surface of the river bank. This concerns me a little. Is it possible with some of the heavy rains we've had, that with erosion of the river bank, that this could be sitting right on the surface?? I sure hope so! With all the money I've spent on MD equipment, its kinda ironic I'd find my 1st bullet while fishing. I know theres alot of CW history in H.F. WV. Any help in confirming would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks Hoos
Hope the pics turn out ok!

Hi Hoos
Nice eye balling!
Yes they do get exposed by the rain; that is how most arrow heads are found.
Years ago I eye balled a dud 3 inch Parrot shell at the base of a tree that had been pulled up from the ground as the tree roots grew under it.

Thanks Wilder!!!
I was worried about it not being CW era, but there is just too much history here for me to have too much doubt!
