Arry 21,335 Posted August 31 Author Report Share Posted August 31 Well I was out the other day would this thought at first it was a gaming piece or a small trade weight. Only to be told its a shot gun slug well its too small to be a 12 bore one so reckon its a .410 single slug. I've never seen one for .410 I used 12 bore rifled 1 oz slug. This one is 9 grams roughly.

Arry 21,335 Posted October 18 Author Report Share Posted October 18 Tried a new permission today some paddocks not much in the first two paddocks just them sheep treatment tubes. I know others had had a go there so no surprise really. Then crossed a track tried a lower paddock well was getting some signals all junk 12 bore cases but gave me faith it hadn't been done. Nothing really good but did get this Trade weight which I'm told is around Henry V11 or Henry V111 so will give me faith to have another go there.
