I had an extra day to go digging after the Chantilly show
and was able to hook up with my friend William Leigh.
We hunted all day and found nothing, which is not terribly
unusual. As the time approached 5 pm we decided to call it
a day and head back to the car hunting along the way.
William got a reading and dug a dropped Gardner, I then,
to my amazement dug a dropped .69 Carcano. Immediately
after that William digs a dropped .69 Gardner! We are
both amazed! He the tells me there's more in the hole
and invites me to dig one (I end up with a couple) William
pulls two more out of there and we continue to find
a few more common bullets. It took a while to sink in,
but even though we only dug bullets, they were damned
good ones! The day was beautiful too, and it is always
a treat to see the kind of scenery I saw on that day.
