    WA geology is amazing.

    Bullet identification

    A reply I received from treasurenet: 'Welcome Treasureman, and interesting find! Is it jacketed? The Japanese Arisaka used a bullet that stuck way out of the cartridge case but I don't think I've ever seen the bullets. If it's pure lead without a jacket or a gas check it would likely be some...

    Back With Some Finds And A Coin Spill

    All in the same area Silver one spot just had a litter of musket balls. I imagine I haven't found all of them but cleaned up the most obvious ones. Going through the collection I found some smaller musket balls that are not like the majority I have been finding. Seems to be plenty of musket...
