I promised Doug that I would take him to the picket post site where I dug the breastplate this week. We knew there was a good chance we would get rained on but off we went. I’m trying to talk Josh into going with us soon given his crazy work schedule and don’t think that will be a problem-LOL.
Doug struck first blood by digging a nice dropped .69 cal. 3 ringer about 50 ft. from the truck. His best find was the nice brass suspender clip. He made a nice start to a relic box from that site today. The .69 bullet I dug shown in the video had 3 notches carved into the base like they intended to make a whistler bullet out of it.
Our relics from today are shown on the threadbare (as Steve in PA said) Relic Rag courtesy of Modern Miner. My finds to date from the picket post are shown on the red background.
When Doug recovered his 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] .69 cal. 3 ringer, I told him that I should charge he and Josh a guide fee. He said when their books on finding CW sites & identifying relics (LOL) come out that they would comp me copies. I can’t wait-LOL. HH from Doug & Quindy.

Congrats guys, love finding those big "mammy-balls" and the suspender clip is always a good find. I can't wait till the book comes out, I'll bet they see well over 9 copies. Oh, by the way, mighty good short hunt and I love the song! Maybe we can get out before next fall!!!!!

Great hunt. I am still waiting on the rain here. Maybe this will be the fat boy .69 caliber camp like the William Cleaners was? I may hunt in the rain tomorrow . I am desperate to dig a few relics.
Thanks for sharing. Beautiful pictures of Tennessee. No place I would rather be. Turkey season opens tomorrow be safe!
HH!

Gotta agree, beautiful scenes of Tn in your video. You ever get up around Sgt York's stomping grounds( Pall Mall )? I grew up just over the line. Nice video.....it reminded me of home.:icon_thumright:

Congrats to the Rain Men on a super hunt. Glad you guys could get out today. Some nice lead and a super suspender clip for the D-meister. :thumbsup:
Super tune on today's video Q. I got out for a few hours today, but believe me, you guys did a lot better. :BangHead:

P.S. Let me know when Dman and Josh's new book comes out, I need some more paper for the privy. :tongue3:

OD, the last time I was there, I attended Pastor Pyle's (played by Walter Brennan in the movie) estate sale. That's a beautiful part of Tennessee. Nearly 1 hour 45 mins. from us. HH, Q.

Woop! Looks like another great spot in the making for the trio! Already a good showing for the collection. I love finding the suspender buckles. Can't wait to see that one all cleaned up.
Congrats on all those finds!

Good follow up hunt on the picket post Quindy. The relic rag is getting a real workout lately. I guess you have to wash it after every hunt, LOL.
