      Is it possible that SaBo hit it's target? Would that explain the broken scattered gun parts to dropped 3 ringers? All depends on how you look at it. History uncovered

Good Luck and Happy Hunting. One of my first finds was a 9 ct gold pendant a foot down in the sand at a Toronto Beach and a $15,000 Cartier gold and diamond bracelet, albeit a copy :>D

    Chigg, I happened to be watching another video after yours (American Battlefield Trust-Vicksburg 160th anniversary.) At 2:05 minutes in
    there is a Handheld Grooming Tool pictured in a case that has piece of iron with teeth. Looks like garden tool of today but it is next to other
    grooming tools. Thought you might want to know.

    Have you ever been down near Bull Falls, there is an old town along the tracks that's not there anymore. I think it was called Shenandoah City and there are remnants of an old dam that diverted water to the banks and they had water powered factories that got wiped out by floods. There is also the island on the other side of the river.

    It looked like you two were having some fun. Of course, it's always fun to see you pull Mike's chain. For Mikes's info, gilt is considered a heavier layer than plate. Where did you learn so much about farm equipment? I'm always amazed (shouldn't be) when you can identify an item like that spring. Thanks for a longer adventure. Of course, you know they are never long enough for me! 😊

    They prevent steel to steel contact up the barrels.Sabots peel away on exiting the barrel they allow small calibre projectiles to be fired from larger guns with larger charges. Copper bands used to on shells made of steel to engage the rifling are called firing bands.

    Sab-ot or sab-oh is the same as the Scots refer to a joint of meat as jig-ot which is derived from the French jig-oh. Y'gotta love how languages morph over time and geographic distance. Very kule.
