Doug and Quindy wanted me to come over and hunt with them today. The sun was nice but we had a wind chill in the upper 20s all day. Josh had to work so I had to open a gate as Doug immediately jumped into the back seat when we left town. Josh, I feel your pain - LOL. We did some scouting at a couple of spots but they didn’t pan out so we hit a spot after lunch for a couple of hours where we hunted last August when the soil was very dry. The Trio had hit it in October and dug relics but the soil was dry then too. This spot was in sight of a large U.S. camp so we knew that between the three of us we should recover a few relics. We were pleasantly surprised with two coat size Eagle GS buttons and more .58 cal. 3 ringers that are common finds there.

We had a very enjoyable day hunting together (as always) and all of us added relics to our collections. Note to Josh: Doug bought lunch-LOL. HH, Donnie.

It looks like you guys had a good day. The gate keeper job is important though as one slip up and you can loose your hunting spot.:tongue3: Nice relics recovered.

You and I both hunted that same site several years before we knew each other. I was surprised there were that many relics left in that little site. We had a great time and I always learn something from you.
Julia, you need to start back going hunting with us when you're not busy designing web pages because you are the only one who can keep Doug in line-LOL. Thanks for going with us & you two have fun next week, Q.

I really had a good time hunting with Donnie a Quindy. Donnie did a fair job opening the gates but I am sure he will improve with more practice. LOL I hope next time we hunt our cousins from gallatin will be able to go.

DMan. Tell us about your "7 tips". One of them must have worked because you did dig a nice coat button. Tennessee digger

Thanks for all of the nice comments. I'll deal with DMan later, but he shouldn't talk about Josh and Quindy that way! The area that we finally hunted has been POUNDED for many years so we were really satisfied with what we did find. Quindy and Doug are fun to hunt with as you can imagine. Always something going on with them two. Tennessee digger

Don.... Good to hear from you too. Roger and I dug a lot of relics together for many years. Howard was involved with one of the most embarrassing moments that I've ever had while relic hunting. Can't repeat it of course on this forum but Doug and Quindy know the story. Next time you see DMan, ask him about it. Tennessee digger
