We are beginning to hunt a little. Doug & I hit a Gen. John Hunt Morgan C.S.A. camp on Monday. I returned there solo on Tuesday. My few finds from that hunt are shown in the pic with the brass spur. I have made a few scouting trips but nothing promising so far. Josh has been digging a few relics & buttons as his work schedule allows.
After scouting two sites yesterday morning without promising results, I went to a nearby site that the Trio lightly hunted about 3 years ago. I thought that we may have overlooked a few relics because of the soil being dry that spring. This site is between two U.S. Infantry camps & near a good water source. We call it the “Triangle”. My finds from a 2 hour hunt yesterday and a few hours this morning during the rain are shown on the paper towel. I do enjoy digging those dropped .69s. Attn. F75 users-some of the .69 cal. “Big Boys” were 9 in. deep & read only a “12” on the display but had a good tone. Moisture content was ideal.
The campfire lead, square nails, & utility knife validate our feelings that was indeed a camp for a short period & not just a resting area near fresh water. All 3 of the “Triangle” camps were issued different caliber weapons. The camp I hunted today used mainly .69 cal. rifles (early war), one camp used .58s, & the third camp had .54s.
The only eagle button I dug had a damaged face. Unfortunately, most of the buttons dug in fertilized fields will be in poor condition from now on.
The campfire lead that looks like a horse face in the pic is interesting but just a coincidence.
