He's Back!!! Tenn. Trio Unites To Hunt Confederate Camp =Over 50 Relics!!

Dman’s physician told him to put the crutches away and cleared him to hunt relics on reasonably level land. The Tennessee Trio again reunited to hunt a CSA Cavalry camp today after a couple of months with Dman on i.r.
Josh and I figured we would need to share a few signals with him at first as we thought he may have forgotten how to hunt-LOL. I'm sure that when he dug the first .69 cal. ball, it felt like digging a Whitworth after not being able to hunt for two months.
The second pic is of our combined finds. Dman only hunted an hour and a half so as not to push his luck. Josh had the best finds today in the 3rd pic and looked like the Energizer Bunny running through the camp. His best find was the carved bullet with the cuff size eagle button and LeFaucheux pin fire bullet in the brass cartridge coming in a close 2nd and 3rd. That was his first pin fire bullet.
We dig something in this camp that we rarely dig anywhere else-charcoal from the campfires as shown in the last pic. They usually read in the upper iron range but some read "58" like a CW bullet.
It felt good to see our friend out there hunting with us again. Thanks for taking time to look at our post and Happy New Year from the Trio, Quindy.

Awesome Quindy. So glad to see Dman swinging again. Y'all are doing great over there. We finally got everybody together and we are hitting our new camp tomorrow. Mike just got back from Culpeper and is coming over here tomorrow. He is going to be one tired puppy after tomorrow. Happy Holidays if I don't talk to you before then.

Same to you Randy and I'm looking forward to seeing how the new site produces. You and guy may need to use your shovels to pry Mike's eyes open-LOL. HH, Quindy.

I was happier than a hog in mud. Just being able to hunt with my friends was enough for me. Thank you all on Treasurenet for your emails and support through my recovery.

You guys had a great day. Congrats to all three of you clowns.

Thanks Marc and we are lucky to have CS sites in this area. Finding CS relics in Tennessee is quite a bit more difficult than it appears on our posts. They didn't drop as many relics as the Union troops. HH, Quindy.

The relics will pour from the earth in buckets now! HH
We wish MK-LOL. Thanks and hope you have a BANNER year in 2012 MK, Quindy & the Trio.

Breezie, he hit the field too quickly and hunted too long during his shoulder surgery recoverey last winter. He says he will take it a little easier this time. HH, Quindy.

MM, I missed him as I need 2 credible witnesses when I make a historic find-LOL. "Credible" with Dman and Josh may be up for discussion too-LOL. HH, Q.

Roger, we seem to recover less conical bullets and more small balls on each visit now which is to be expected but we are still recovering buttons and button backs so that's a plus. HNY, Q.

Way to go fellas. Great to see the trio back in full swing :hello2:
Now if we can just keep him healthy Mike, we can go digging regularly now. HH, Q.

Welcome Back Dman! :hello2:
I know your 2 buddys did not feel the same out there with out you all this time.
Full steam ahead for the trio now! :thumbsup:
Super saves today guys! :icon_thumright:
Rob, Tenn. Josh has done a good job replacing Dman during his absence by aggravating me to death-LOL. HH and post that new button you found yresterday as it's a BEAUTY, Quindy.

I don't know about "fearsome" Steve but we are back hunting together. Now, the controversy over whoever finds an eagle button buys lunch starts all over again. BTW, Josh dug an eagle cuff didn't he?-LOL, Quindy.
