Bran's "Bachelor Hunt" ;-)

Hey ya'll... I know I haven't been around in a very long time, but I've been busy working full time and going to school full time (again) I finally finished the semester a week or so ago with three A's and one B, so it was a really great way to end the school year.

I've been way too busy (and unmotivated) to do any detecting for quite some time. But I figured I'd get on here and tell about the little "bachelor hunt" that I'm having this coming Thursday & Friday before my wedding on Saturday the 21st It's a closed-hunt for some of my T-Net family & friends who are coming from different parts of the country to be at our wedding. The location is and will continue to be a secret after the hunt & wedding are over at the request of the property owner. Let's just say that she's a really great friend... Hopefully we'll have some really awesome finds and great fellowship with each other while we're there!! And I hope everyone has pictures to post up once it's over as well. Here's a little history of the property we'll be hunting which I posted up on our Facebook event page... (edited for privacy)

Bran <><

History of the Land:
So here’s a little background on the area that we would be able to hunt… the property is a total of 750 acres. Yes, likely too much land for all of us to hunt in a few days. But hey, if we keep things nice and be respectful like, there may be a next time. ;-)

There is an OLD wire road running directly through the property and the property owner’s house was the original stage coach stop for the [ edited ].

Over 12,000 troops marched through there and both Federal and Confederate troops camped on the land. The [ edited ] camped on the property as well, prior to the Wilson Creek Battle in Springfield. That’s is the same battle which Frank James – Jesse James’ older brother – William Clarke Quantrill, and Cole Younger fought in as members of the Missouri State Guard!

The property also served as a huge camp ground for the Trail of Tears movement, along with thousands of travelers over all those years since.

The original owner of the homestead was shot by Bloody Bill Anderson and his gang, right in front of the owner’s wife and children. They also say that Jesse James and William Quantrill also used the property as a camp during their travels to Springfield.

I'm sorry that you can't make it, but we're hoping to possibly make it up for the last CTH4 this year. Hopefully I'll see you there if we do come. I know Hannah has already told me that she wants me to go even if she's not able to, but we'll have to see when that time gets closer.

Haha, I know WSD... I've already looked into the "pastor" of the church who started that false teaching. Not only are they not using Scripture much at all to validate their believes, but they're actually trying to use a mathematical solution based upon "day & time" events (which I bet they're still miscalculating those also) that took place in the Bible to predict Jesus' return. They're so far from the Truth, but that's for them to find out the hard way. God will send His Son in His timing, not this pastor's (or his followers) timing. Jesus can come back whenever God sees fit and I'm perfectly fine with that... but because of something I'll not get into on here, I have a very strong feeling that it likely will not be next Saturday (not saying I know when Jesus will return, by the way). Like I told Trish on FB, it will be a pretty breathtaking ceremony if Jesus does come back on that day! And if He doesn't, we're going to have a fantastic ceremony and honeymoon.

Brandon,

I too must regretfully bow out. My daughter's graduation from Texas State (and moving) is going to keep me busy, however I do want to wish you and Hannah all the best that life together has to offer.

You are a good man my friend and I must insist that you make it to CTH4.

Thanks Rick! Believe me, I definitely understand! I've got family that won't be able to attend because of their kid's graduation ceremonies. And moving... lol Well we'll be doing that right after the wedding! It's a 1,200 mile trip, so I'm ready for it to be over!! But thank you for thinking of us... and we'll do our best to make CTH4!!!

Re: Bran's "Bachelor Hunt" ;-)

I didn't get many pic's taken because I was BUSY detecting all yesterday and a little this morning before leaving, due to the thunderstorms. I found alot of rusty implements as well as a ricocheted mini... but this was my two best finds, along with a couple camp pic's. BEF will have to post the pic's he took with his DLSR when he gets here tomorrow for the wedding. And Johnny Ringo will HAVE to post his pic's as well, since he pretty much cleaned the relics up out there!!! We had a really great time!
