These are some photos from years back when the "cannon ball digging" was really hot. Included is a photo of the first artillery shell my son and I ever dug in 1967 or 1968 - a 3.8" James type I. We didn't know what the heck we'd dug until a fellow digger identified it for us.
This is a photo of one day's dig back in 1979 while I was experimenting with long hair and a beard (ugh!). I remember I had a heck of a time carrying all those shells from the woods. The detector is an old Fisher Research with a 13" head.
I loved the wool jacket I was wearing in the last photo. It was made for me by the mother of one of my girlfriends back when I was single. Unfortunately, it burned during a house fire in 1982.
