Confederate Reed Shell Find
At the beginning of the month I posted a Confederate Reed Fuse I found during the DIV hunt, I was ecstatic to say the least finding it.
Yesterday my hunting partner and I hit a new spot and did not expect to find what we did. He found a whole Confederate side loading Cannon Ball and later that day I found a whole Confederate Reed Shell. Neither the Cannonball nor Reed Shell had exploded so we will have to have them disarmed ASAP. Thanks for looking, Ed http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...tox/Shell1.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...tox/Shell2.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...tox/Shell3.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...tox/Shell4.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...tox/Shell5.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...tox/Shell6.jpg

Great finds for sure! I dug a live 50 caliber shell one time and didn't like that feeling. That thing is a couple of 50 calibers...
