Well, the Pequot Indian hunt was a bust for me lol Nothing good to show from it. Dan saved his pride by sneaking in a musket ball last minute :clapping: It was a perfect day too lol But one of the other guys did find a brass point and some more musket balls. Another club member may have found a musket rest. So overall it was a good hunt. Afterwards, we wanted to get back to the spot that gave me the 2 coppers last week and Dan's Vermont baby head colonial coin. Since the first half of the day was not that great, we were going there to redeem ourselves. :angelic: Nope, not for me lol Got some relics, but no coins this time. Oh well, I guess I have to wait until I can have a crack at it on Saturday again. Here's my haul:

lol Yeah, I think Dan got a Wheat penny lol I got nothing, not even a Memorial. I found all those at the Pequot hunt and were all returned to the land owners along with all the trash too :happydance01: :happydance01:. That stuff I didn't miss. I figured the next couple of hours at the cellar hole would produce at least one big copper, but not for me :ticked: I am on a one hunt copper drought. I can't stand it already 8/

is the barrel steel or a white pot metal?kinda looks like both from the pic.see if a magnet sticks to it.if it's steel my guess it's real.if it don't stick then most likely a toy :thinkingabout:

I'm thinking some kind of blank gun. It's not steel and is some kind of white metal. But the firing design is way too odd for a play gun. The weight is also very heavy for a play gun. If it is a play gun, it would be old, when they made things heavy and to last lol I wish I could have kept it but that was not the deal :crying02:

bummer... but you did get some really nice stuff though. I always like when I can pull a pocket watch from the ground.... which is not very often.
Congrats.
What's the deal with the gun? Any info. about it?
the gun was made by a Herbert Schmidt co. a German gun manufacturer that started around 1919 , however the verdict is still out if this is a blank shooter or starting pistol or a real bullet firing one as the company made both at one time or another .

Continued the Pequot hunt, solo this week. Del was on vacation. Once again I was saved by a musket ball lol That's 2 weeks in a row that I didn't find much and at the last part of the hunt I got a musket ball. Last week it was a dropped one (showing someone's position on the battle field) and this week was an impacted one. It's kinda sad, since this one may have hit bone. Curled right around something thin, like a rib or smaller bone. Takes a very hard impact to flatten a large calibur musket ball that much crying01 I wish I had my camera man for a picture lol Come on back Del rofl Looks like my cellar hole hunts are over for a while. Not much time left in the day after hunting there all day, but it's worth it. It's kinda fun doing them hunts. :)
