How many of you find live ammo when you are detecting? I find most of my on school grounds with parks in second place. I have found everything from 22's to 30-06.

I find it occasionally. Got a .45 round at one demo site, and another in an old cemetery. Occasionally some .22 rounds dropped by hunters, when I'm out in the boonies.

I know a cave in Mo full of them!!!

Yep, sure do... Several rounds this last summer. Mainly small caliber but a few larger ones too.
That's a main reason I'm reluctant to use the screwdriver method for digging, particularly at certain locations..

I got this in a sock ! ! ! Came from an old home site that had just been demoed and cleared off.

I've never found anything like that.

I live near Fort Ord, a former US Army post.
Part of it is now an open space park and I go walking there sometimes.
I have found old ammunition there just laying on the ground.

What caliber are the rifle cartridges? Guessing something like a 45-70.

I think they are 30-30. I don't know what I did with them at this point. This is my post from May of "04"

I will look for the sock, and see what I had.

They look too big for 30-30.
