The Tennessee Trio hunted a CSA Cavalry camp today for 2.5 hours. Dman had only an hour to hunt so Josh and I carried the flag for the Trio for the duration of the short hunt.
For some reason today, the targets had a narrow field of detection but they rang good when the coil was over the center. We had the usual .69 cal. round balls, a .44 pistol ball, Gardner, and a Burnside Carbine for the bullet category. As seen in the video, Josh’s silver was a 1944 dime. The #39 cow tag on the chain was almost enough to make me pass out (again). The brass tube looking relic I dug looks like a stem from a tompion used to prevent moisture and dirt from entering the rifle barrel. Today’s finds are on the blue background.
I made a solo hunt last Friday and dug the Colt combination gun tool, carved and chewed bullet, and large brass sword belt brad. Josh made a solo hunt yesterday in a different CSA Cavalry camp and dug the relics shown including 5 really nice nose cast CS .58 cal. 3 ringers. Enjoy the video and HH from the Trio.

Bob, Old Stonewall (Richard) suggested that I write one for the Tennessee Trio videos to avoid copyright issues on You Tube. His very talented son in law (Pastor Andrew Nissley) took my words, set them to music, and played guitar and sang the vocal. He belongs in Nashville with his musical abilities. Richard's daughters sing the "Blue Ridge Mountain Sunset" on his videos. He is surrounded by musical talent and is a talented history author himself. The complete song was on a previous post-check the link. Thanks for looking & HH, Quindy.

I guess the Trio has dug 10-12 gun tools between us this year Bill which is unusual. I have dug 4 personally. Thanks for looking and tell your Dad "hello". HH, Quindy.
