S.M.A.R.T.S That's what we call it. :)
I met with with my "Club brothers" In the Great state of Tennessee for a fun filled day of brier dodging and Civil war relic searching. :icon_thumleft:


As usual, we had a great time in the amazing Tennessee Mountains finding some really decent relics.
Our digging partner, Guy L. Put us right on the spot of an old CW camp where we spent the day hanging out, and sharing the nice cool weather. I'm proud to be a part of this team. My partners are intelligent and do their homework!
Thanks again Guy (Tnrelicman) for another good hunt.
Here's a photo of my "bonus" of our excellent day relics dug.

I'm glad you where able to make it down to hunt with us Mike, I wish one of us could've found something ground breaking, but either way had a great time, can't wait to try it again soon.

I had a great time as well. I really enjoy hunting with you guys. You both beat me on bullets (I only found one) but my best find was the rifle barrel. Next time we will get the buttons and hopefully a buckle or plate. Thanks again to Guy (Tnrelicman)

Mike,
The trip was well worth it. Nice job on the CW relics. It amazes me how often those small oval pieces pieces (mystery piece) show up in CW spots. I can't remember if those have been ID'd here on TN or not. :dontknow:
Congrats,
Doug

What get's me is the sexy little garter belt clip.
Now that's a thought.
Grown men in garter belts slinging large chunks of lead at each other. :D
Strange what items show up huh.

I think he's talking about the oval item to the right of the garter clip, next to the blob of lead. Cam mailed me just yesterday asking about those and I couldn't remember anyone stating for sure what they were. Any idea?

Those are some super finds, ya'll!! 8)

Mike,
It could have been from a woman from the "show me" state visiting the camp? :love3: :love4: :love10:
At least that's what I'm hoping for. :tongue3: :laughing9:

I think he was carrying a memory of a happier time and perhaps the clip reminded him of it? Great digs looks like you guys did well. If I could ever get away from the artifacts,, ohh did find these just laying there shot it with a gps and will go back and beep it. Glad all is well : )
