bullet mold. #746.

A nice find for these days. A D-guard Bowie knife, before and after a cleaning.
How about this group of relics dug from a fire pit. A .69 caliber smoothbore cut down
for cavalry use, a smooth side canteen or part of one, a nice whiskey bottle, an
eating plate, shovel and a few OMTs (old metal things).

bottom of its hole where it rested until its rescue.

SOME REALLY COOL
DIMICK FINDS FOR THIS
YEAR.
Some of this years Dimick
finds. There is 3 Henry hulls,
Dimick rifle end cap and part
of the trigger gaurd, a round
lead bar used for casting
these rare sharpshooters
bullets, an insert used for
making the small teat in the
base of the bullet and a few
sprue's that were trimmed off.
of the bullets.
My son and I hunting for Sharks
teeth in North Mississippi. The trip
went good, 82 in all, not bad for
our first time out. Teddy avant and
his son also went and about half of
the 82 they dug. Let me tell you,
there is almost nothing better on
this earth than getting some good
father son time and passing our
hobbies on to the younger ones. I
hope God blesses me with many
more days like this.
