Another noobie.

[tjim]

Howdy there. Another noobie named Jim. I live in far Northern California Cascades. Been shooting black powder for 45 years but got out for awhile. Back into it now because of a birthday present of a Remington New Army (knockoff) and a little more leisure time.

Welcome and glad to have you with us! :thumbsup:

 

[Treestalker]

Welcome from Arkansas! Glad you're back in the Black. Lots of reference and friendship here. Cheers, Tree.

Tjim, welcome. You're a short hop from my favorite place on the planet, Captain Jack's Stronghold. That's a fine and accurate sixgun you have there.

 

[Shooey]

Welcome from Virginia! Glad you're here. I've always wanted one of those revolvers with the 8 inch barrel.

WELCOME :hatsoff: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have Fun
Phil

Yep, we live 12 miles from the Stronghold. A piece of the old Applegate trail runs through one of our farms and we border Bloody Point where a massacre of a wagon train took place.

Tjim, if'n you'd let me come down and run my metal detector, I'd share ...
:haha:

 

[tjim]

That'd be nice of you! But, alas, I'm afraid there's not much to share. It's been picked clean over the last 70 years. Arrowheads are all gone and the only metal left is a gazillion shotgun bb's, .22 bullets and lot's of worthless shells.

Many years ago several detector's went through and found quite a few balls.
Maybe I should go out and salt the area with a few balls from my 1858 :hmm:

 

[tjim]

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome :grin:

 

[Preacher Jeremy]

Welcome to the Camp! :grin:

 

[mazo kid]

Howdy Jim, welcome from Wisconsin. Sounds like you have lots of history around you. We are also close to the trail that Chief Blackhawk followed when fleeing from the soldiers.

:You wouldn't be the first guy to do it either! :wink: You might make some detectors happy...those guys can run to 'strange' if yours are like ours! :haha: Welcome back to the addiction, by the way. Good to see new faces...our gang here around the campfire get tired of looking at some of us old farts! :thumbsup:

I know what you mean about the "detectors". I've seen them go nuts over a .22 shell on our land...just 'cause it was near a historical place. Mor'n likely it was from me or my brother shooting jack rabbits 50 years ago :wink:
Guess I can't be too ornery though...my brother and I do some detecting and get excited at a square nail.
BTW I blend in real good with old farts especially old redneck farts :slap:
