Tenn. Relic Hunt with Dman Today=Eagle Cuff Button, Several Bullets, and Buckle

[VOL1266-X]

Dman and I have not been CW relic hunting since Jan. 27 due to snow, rain, frozen ground, and below average temps. Finally, we had a decent day to hunt even though it was 24 degrees when I picked Dman up in my truck. The sun was out and it warmed up to 50 deg. during the day-excellent relic hunting weather. We went to a U.S. CW Camp hoping to dig a few relics and wound up having a decent day. I used my F75 and Dman alternated with his SE and F75 LTD. Dman had the best find today with the Eagle cuff button. I found the iron equipment buckle similar to those on the bottom of cartridge box plates. We dug 5 dropped BIG BOY .69 cal. 3 ringers and assorted other bullets. I had one that was whittled on but have not cleaned it up yet. We had fun with the iron canister balls. They look good in a camp display. Dman was crying about having to buy another walnut display box because the other one from this camp is full-poor baby.
I was also the victim of a prank cooked up by Modern Miner today . He mailed some kind of repro coin or Chunky Cheese token to Dman who made sure I found it today. I knew something was up when Dman was so helpful in helping me locate it. I would like to put Dman in a cage and send him to Modern Miner ONE WAY.
Back to Morgan's CSA Camp with Josh next week if the weather holds. Happy hunting from Dman and myself in Middle Tennessee.

NOTE-Dman INSISTED that I add the R.R. Coin pic (Rare Reproduction) from North Carolina that I dug today. I also posted a pic of my cleaned up finds. Dman will post his tonight. The rusty chain piece is part of an iron curb bit chain that was U.S. standard bridle issue. Union Cavalry were staioned there with the Infantry regiments.

That is wierd. I was just thinking of sending Dman a message, I haven't seen a post from him in a while and here I click on your post first and there he is mentioned.
Sounds like you two had a fun day. Those are some nice finds. But I find it had to believe Dman would play a prank. NOT!

HILARIOUS!!!! I forgot I had asked Dman to pull that prank. Classic!!! Thanks Dman.
Looks like you two nuts had a good hunt there. I was excited pulling up one .69 bullet yesterday and you pull out FIVE.
Great spot guys.

P.S. I'll send you a box of tissues for Dman. I don't want him getting tears all over that FULL walnut display case.

Thanks KW, he's quite the prankster and a really good CW
relic hunter too (don't tell him I said so as his head is BIG enough). Thanks for looking, Quindy.

I can't wait. I'll get that gold plated coin ready for our hunt.
You're right though, I should respect my elders.

Good job Quindy on the ringers. Looks like you put a skunk on the prankstas.
Bet you guys enjoyed getting out too.

Don't you dare you turkey. I know where we are going there is a good posibility the real ones might be there. I dig a fake and I'd still be out in the field doing cartwheels and screeming like a little girl.

Looks like you had a lot of fun meeting up for a hunt.
Topped it off with some finds, good day to be out swinging.

 

[VOL1266-X]

Good to see you guy are getting out down there! Congrats on the finds!
I wish I needed to get another display case!

Now, it gets worse Rob. We went this morning (Sunday) to a different U.S. site and hunted two hours. I dug three 3 ring U.S. bullets and part of a button and Dman recovered 4-3 ring U.S. bullets and an iron underwear button and wanted to whine about running out of room in his display box from that site. Don't you need him out there IN the shark pit? HH Bud.

Nice Digs Quindy!!! I would loved to have seen your face when you dug that funny money!!! I bet Dman was beside himself trying not laugh.

I'll miss you two guys in Virginia in a few weeks. Maybe you can make the hunt in the fall.
