Got out for a few minutes here and there over the past week. Nothing great, but a few neat things.



Probable Tombac button

musket ball (not sure of age. Was found in a field with a bunch of newer objects, so may not be old)

part of a catholic charm

pewter spoon fragment - probable 1700s

1918 wheat cent

flag

1902 IHC that was shot!



HH all!

    Nice finds.... but that IHC is unique... would have thought it would have more damage if shot...

    but perhaps what is was shot with and the range could explain the effect. Interesting.....

    Cheers, RickO

    Does the musket ball fit into the IHC?
    If found nearby maybe the musket ball was used to shoot the IHC!

    There were a bunch of .22 shell casings on this beach, so I'm thinking it was with one of those? The musket ball was found probably 15 miles away from the IHC, so I'm not betting on those odds!

    Was out on a group hunt a couple of years ago and one guy found a Wheatie that looked like your shot IHC. At first, I thought his was a little army helmet that fell off a toy soldier. He said the same thing, likely shot by a .22.
