Our expedition didn't yield only geological interests. We also found some more modern day archaeological items and a curious biological specimen.

Primus found a spent rifle shell casing while walking along:

The_Metatrix looked it up on the googles while Primus and I were measuring it with a caliper and cataloging our find. It's a 30-06 shell made by Twin Cities ammunition in 1953. Goddamned 43 year old rifle shell. She didn't tell Primus, so he can figure it out by himself.
