I found myself with Smittyman and Kurt Stuben in Pennsylvania last weekend. We were invited to hunt in the woods the *******s of Bramble. I had no idea what I was getting myself into!

Eight of us made the hike through the woods to a set of hand hewn stone walls, the remains of an old building. It was a beautiful old place, that had already yielded a bunch of good items.

My first target was an eagle button, my first one. I was quite excited to see that right out of the shoot. We hunted for several hours, and a few other targets showed up under my coil, most notably, an LC... 1820s something. The coin is nice, except right around the date area.

The real treasure was the people, I can not thank those young gentlemen enough... Scrappy, Bartek and Eastcoasthunter21, my hat is off to you guys (that is why my head is sunburned!). It was also nice to get to meet and hunt with Loco Digger, and Kevin's brother in law.

Nice largie Tom. It's in a little better shape than the one I found earlier this year. :laughing7: I have to hold mine at just the right angle to see any details.

What era is that Eagle button??

Awesome hunt man. I'm glad everyone had an awesome time and you got a few keepers. Quite a hike huh? I need to forward that video of Smittyman crossing the river. Crossing a river was new to him since the last time he did it was with Moses parting the sea.

Anyway, great hunt, and I'll holler at you soon.

Great finds Tom! Nice to see tnetters getting together to hunt. One day I'd love to see a tnet group hunt here in SC, be neat to put faces to the names of all these fine folks we talk to on this forum! Maybe I'll host one next time I find a fresh new site! Congrats buddy on some nice finds!

Nice looking eagle button and large cent. You can tell they didn't come from a farm field.

Thanks Charlie. I was great getting to meet you and Bart too. I have heard so much about you guys, it was nice to put faces with names. I can not speak highly enough about the Ba$tard$ of Bramble. We really appreciated you guys taking all of us hunting like you did. That was an ADVENTURE, I will not soon forget.

As stated earlier, I look forward to seeing you in my town, whenever you can make it.

Here is the pic from the dinner table, the first night at Ottos.

Great hunt Tom and what a group... I sure missed out on meeting some really great people. Really liking that button and those brambles look nasty... I bet if it was all cleared out that place would produce a ton. Glad ya'll had a great time man.

Congrats on those cool digs Tom. First target being a cool button feeds the fire and keeps ya swinging in the Brambles. My 1st target was a cool old button & from my research it came from the 1840's. Looking forward to checking out your neck of the woods sometime this year when we venture to the wife's parents in VA. Certainly was nice to see both you and Smitty this past weekend. What is Kurt's Tnet name?
