The 22 cartridges with a "U" headstamp were made by Union Metallic Cartridge Company. They are probably over 100 years old. UMC merged with Remington Arms in 1912.

Nora, I just started MD'ing this summer with a Equinox 800 i bought from Kelly Co as well. I found them to have great customer service which is huge in this day and age of outsourced services. I love that you are out detecting and exploring new areas. If you don't already own or know about the Garmin inreach satellite communicators please do yourself a favor and research or buy one. As you know when travelling the globe or just out detecting/exploring many areas in the USA have no cell service to call/text someone in case of emergency. This device via the Iridium Satellite global network allows you to two-way text, track & share GPS location with family/friend or in a serious emergency trigger an interactive "SOS" that goes to a global response center who will help coordinate help/rescue. I'm not sponsored nor do i work for this company. the device once owned does require a subscription but the cheapest plans are affordable. Have a Great 2021.

Yeah they really so have wonderful customer service! You're right I should definitely invest in one of those incase something happens and I'm in the middle of nowhere 😬 I'll hop on Amazon right now, thank you! 😊

[@theshootindutchman]

Hi Nora, your gun buddy here😊So, as you guessed, those were . 22 rimfire cases, and you found a couple of "live" cartridges that were still in tact with bullet and gunpowder still in them. The reason they we're on the ground is that they were "misfires", where the gun had been fired but the cartridge did not ignite and because . 22 rimfire ammunition is so inexpensive, the shooter just threw it to the ground. The "U" on the bottom of the brass case stands for "United", short for "" United Metallic Cartridge" (Remington's ammunition manufacturing branch). Keep up the great videos and be safe! 😄

[@NoraSvet]

Wow so cool, thank you for the information. Is it possible for these live rounds to be set off?😄

[@liberty9348]

@@NoraSvet YES. They are a sealed cartridge and there is still gun powder inside. They are "live ammo". Don't put them in your carryon when you fly home lol.

[@liberty9348]

I didn't see hammer strikes on the backs of those two cartridges in the video. You may be right though... 22 LR rimfire is notoriously unreliable. I think it's more lazy, clumsy shooter/s who just didn't care and left them on the ground because they're so inexpensive and/or it was at night and they just didn't bother searching for them. Might also be someone like me that won't feed a round that's been in the dirt into my weapons. Don't want to chance the issues and damage that can arise from feeding and firing rounds like that.

[@theshootindutchman]

@@NoraSvet Hi Nora, without being punctured in a specific way on the bottom of the case, they are of very little danger. Don't, however, throw them into a fire😊

[@trevors8577]

@@theshootindutchman Uh, throwing 22 ammo in the fire is fun though, just run away a little ways :) They are pretty easy to pull the lead bullet out and dump out the powder though, then there's just the primer which isn't very dangerous at all. If there's a dent on the side then most likely there was a ftf or failure to feed where the fired casing didn't eject and the gun tried to force the new round in and dented the side. Those I usually try to get to feed into the chamber again and they normally fire and eject just fine. If I happen to lose it in the dirt then they are cheap so I only search a little bit before giving up.

@@NoraSvet arrow heads are made using bone and rock tools. You can find many videos on it.. 35 years ago I found my only arrowhead in Northern Minnesota. It was made from quarts. I was teaching canoeing to challenged teens 6 hours a day. So I was always checking out agates. And a all white stone caught my eye. Did you keep the smooth stone? One edge of the stone appears to have many little flakes taken out to create a serrated edge. The smooth top appears to have had some wide flat flaks lapped off. If this rock was used to scrape material off the inside of a hide. It would have been warn smooth. "Scrapper" If you have it. Please show at the end of your next video. If not. Go back and get it :) People have searched for 80-100 years for the Meteor at the bottom of that impact crater. The latest theory is that it all evaporated because the impact was so intensely hot. Did you get to the booth of the crater? We went down there 8 years ago. Probably closed because of Covid. The other person was correct. The arrow head could be very old Nice find. My other cool find was in the Great Sand Dune national park. It was a inch long hollow tube of sand. Maybe a quarter inch diameter. The ranger said probably made by lightning hitting the sand. Keep up the nice videos. They are a joy to watch

The metal trash scrap looks like it fell of an old car or two (model A's perhaps). The reason some are more magnet than other is that iron is magnetic and nickel not so.

Cowboys actually used a lot of weapons seen towards the end of the civil war such as percussion firearms(black powder) and single shot breech loaders with paper cartridges(black powder). Weapons that used brass cased cartridges(black powder) weren't popular until the mid-end of the 1800s. You probably found some old 22lr cases from decades ago...

Hi Nora. FYI, .22 cal meaning a diameter of.22 of an inch (Approx 5.5mm.) Most were 22LR(Long Rifle). These days you will also find .22 Short and 22 Magnum.

The ammo and casings are .22 cal, but they’re hard to put a date on (maybe some hardcore collector can?)... for example the “U” marking for UMC/Remington... has been used from 1885 all the way through today. The H stamping was used from 1865 till like 1990. Another one looks to be from the Winchester Super X line, which has been around for decades but is still being made today.

That is an awesome area. If you haven't had the chance go and visit 2nd Mesa on the Hopi reservation. Awesome place to visit. The hole you saw was quite possibly a badger (mean little suckers). You were also close to the Apache Death Cave as well. The smaller burrow was probably a pac rat. The smooth thing you found was a spall which is a piece that is taken off the host rock.

Hi Nora. Love your videos. Here is a book that I highly recommend on Meteorites. "Rocks from Space" by O. Richard Norton. A lot of information on how to find and how to identify meteorites. Good luck and keep your coil to the soil.

Excellent book, good recommendation!

[@charlescaprez4322]

Zvery cool video. I live Texas and find all kinds of arrowheads. No meteor though

[@respectanimals2]

Really enjoyed the vid , what an awesome place to visit and detect at , beautiful arrow head find as well , can’t wait for your next land detecting vid 😎🌴👍

[@troyounce1]

Great hunt! Awesome point! Could be made of obsidian

[@howardolson354]

Your so blesser to do what you do enjoy all your videos remind me on when i was young...

[@amandachurch1552]

This was such a fun video and love seeing all the finds

Hi Nora just wondering what brand is your Drone

[@NoraSvet]

Hey Paul! I use the DJI Mavic 🙂

[@Bridgeroad]

What VDI does appear for these meteorites? Thank you

[@thomascraddock8697]

nevada resident here: also a miner. uhh so you got a couple things incorrect. but thats okay and you made sure to say you were unsure. lol. the .22 caliber rimfires are all relatively modern. looks like winchester and remington. the HR and HV i am unsure of, but they are also likely winchester. they look to be from the turn of the 19th through the 1960s you threw back a nice specimen with good clasting on the entry side of the rock. the others, i think two were potential meteorites. the rest just magnetic mineral samples. meteorites always have a unique "burnt layer" called clasting that is easy to determine when examining a fragment that broke off upon impact. its burnt, melted, and smooth due to the friction it encounters from the resistance of our atmosphere.

[@NoraSvet]

Hey Thomas! hmm but some people are saying the rocks with the burnt layer were shocked earth rocks. I did test them with the magnet and detector and they failed both tests 🤔 I will do some research so I'm more prepared next time 😄

@@NoraSvet im not a meteorite hunter, but they are valuable and relatively abundant in places around here headed out towards the playa. because i do metallurgical assays, and know geological structure some i would recommend that you get a small 40x optical comparator for visual confirmation, and always remember that a magnet does not determine whether it is or is not a meteorite. meteorites come in three classes, stone, stony metal, and metal. the comparator will assist you in visual analysis, whereas a magnet will confuse you. meteorites have clasts, flow lines and all kinds of other determining factors that outweigh a magnetic field's detective capabilities. oh, and lol @ shocked earth....thats a new one to me and i mine in hard rock mineral deposits. i think they mean ground that has been shocked by impact, but this isnt something that meteorites really do...earthquakes, volcanic, and tectonic movement? hell yea.
