I'll start, I live the closest :)

The 2006 T-Net hunt was a great success. Perfect weather, perfect folk, and lots of perfect finds !! You won't believe some of the stuff found today at this "hit hard" camp site. I am sure people will be posting them as they get home. I think everyone found something to bring home and remember. You couldn't ask for a nicer host and hostess. These dear folk that allowed us to do the hunt were just the sweetest and most gracious people you could ever want to meet.

First a picture of the trenches. You can see it right behind the fence line. Quite impressive up close and more impressive that it is still there and never filled in for farm pasture. This ground is HARD folks. Missouri soil has tons of clay, and this particular spot you couldn't dig two inches without hitting big rock through the hard clay. You have to be impressed how these men dug something like this with bare hands 140 years ago.


Here are my finds for the day, minus a bunch of iron. I'm a bullet magnet. I just can't seem to get much besides the bullets, but one is special. Can you see it ?


Here it is up close. A soldier passed the time by carving this bullet into something. What for sure we will never know. Maybe a chess piece ? Maybe just bored, who knows.


It's a bullet variant I don't have yet PLUS it's carved. I find a lot of bullets, but this one is just neat.

Thanks JD for putting this on. I am sure you made a day a lot of people will remember for the rest of thier lives. I know it was a lot of work and you didn't get to do a lot of hunting yourself, but all the people you made happy for a day should make you proud. (wait until you see the flying eagle cent. You think you know what copper looks like coing out of the ground after 150 year, think again. Unbelievable)

Awesome finds! Impressive!

[jeff of pa]

nice finds.

Does the Hole go Through like a Pipe ?

It may have been used as a One Hitter.

Back then smoking through Lead wouldn't have been Questioned.

Yes, it goes all the way through. Never thought of that, but you never see that aspect of the CW in the movies either.

WTG Grib. And just a thought....The 3 ringer with the hole through it, could be a fishing sinker?? Just a thought.
