It Was a "Take a Friend CW Relic Hunting Day" for us!!!
Dman and I dodged cold rain showers in Middle Tennessee this morning with Josh to repay him for discovering and inviting us to hunt the spring near a CSA Camp in Southern Tenn. He could have easily hunted that spring close to the Morgan 1863 Camp by himself as he owed us nothing except for the little bit of history that we provided him-but he didn't. Dman wouldn't have that HTF CSA Tranter revolver pistol bullet and I wouldn't have the little 1700s period brass cufflink (and several other relics in our collections) if Josh had not shared the site with us.
We have been saving a field near a U.S. Infantry Camp just for Josh to hunt with us. Although we have recovered Eagle buttons, bullets, and coins from that site in past hunts, the F75s had not ever been used there. We made sure he had something to add to his CW collection at home by actually identifying good signals for him to dig. Dman told him that we would not bring him to any more of our CW sites because he found too many relics-LOL. He left for home in less than 3 hours with a dropped .69 cal. 3 ringer, a dropped Austrian .69 or .70 cal. 3 ringer, a .69 cal. 3 ringer with the top cut off by a Yankee Soldier, and a few fired Colt pistol bullets. He also found some iron buckles, a knife, and other assorted iron relics. His potential best find needs cleaning. Dman thinks it may well be a 2 cent piece.
I don't know a single veteran relic hunter who did not need help when they started hunting. Today was our turn to share our experience with a young relic hunter who was very nice to us. Happy Hunting from all three of us in Tennessee.
