Metal Detecting Finds Henk D
The first set of finds sent in by Henk who is using the Garrett AT Gold in Mpumalanga. Top class start!
“Old coal stove iron”
“Boer war .303 British cartridge. A button and a shotgun shell cap”
“I think it is the 7×57 Mauser: hstp “D.M. 1896 K.” used by the Boers in the Boer war”
“Second day detecting with the Garrett AT Gold. Note the pellet”
We are looking forward to seeing more great finds from Henk!
Hi Henk

7×57 Mauser: “D.M. 1897 K
