Last Few Hunts

[tennessee digger]

Here are a few of the finds that I have made in the last few weeks. My buddy Tom and I have been hunting a few construction and house sites in and around Nashville. He has dug probably twice as much as me but here is my stuff. I also dug 2 rings (not shown) one was silver and the other was gold plated. The badge is from the Knights of Pythias and is silver. The litle cuff button is an eagle "A".
The watch fob is made of copper and is from the American Accident Insurance Company. The token is "good for 5 cents in trade'' and has J.B. on the back. The coolest thing that I found was a piece of lead bar from the camp. It has an eagle stamped on it and has cin.o under the eagle. I didn't think too much of it at first (actually Tom pointed it out to me as I didn't see the eagle) come to find out it is from The Eagle White Lead Company from Cincinniti, Ohio. They were founded in 1842 and furnished lead to the military during he civil war. We had dug several molded and mis-moded bullets in this camp plus a lot of slag lead so I think this lead bar was used for molding bullets in camp. I had a picture of Quindy and DMan in my billfold for good luck..... plus my wife Julia said before I left home "I hope you find something good"!!! Tennessee digger

Nice digs Donnie. The lead bar is a cool war relic. Is that a barrel tap key?

 

[tennessee digger]

Woody.... everything was found over the last few weekends although I did find quite a bit Sunday but I didn't find all of that in one day. I wish I could! Thanks for your comments, I appreciate it. TD

 

[tennessee digger]

I'm not sure what the key went to Steve. Over the years I've dug several keys but that is the first one that I remember like that. You may be right! TD

Great digs Donnie. That lead bullet bar is cool. Better take those pics of Doug and me from your wallet or you'll get arrested-LOL. Congrats on having your Wisconsin CW era button on the cover of AD magazine with our friend John Freeman's gold coin. Buckleboy's article is in the upcoming issue and he and all 3 members of the Tennessee Trio have finds individually pictured in the "Just Dug" section along with your button and John's coin. See you Friday & HH, Q.
