[crashbro17x]

Got to hunt for about 4 hours today with my dad and a friend. Got permission to hunt a piece of property that I had been wanting to hunt for about 8 months now. I had recieved permission on a small track beside it and had found several other relics...I jusk knew this piece of property was going to produce...And it did! Enjoy!

My finds

Flat button I found

Back of button

My dad's finds

My friend's finds

Is this a cannon ball fuse?

And can anybody give me some info on this ring?

Also took some battle damage of my own from the thick brush!

All in all we had a great hunt. We are going to try and hunt it again this weekend, so I hope we will have some more pics for everyone.

Thanks for looking!

Nice hunt and welcome to TNET. Looks like the briar patch got some too

It is several acres and some of it is overgrown...so its gonna take a while to cover it all. The people said come back anytime and as many times as you want!

The briars were terrible.....I laugh now, but it wasn't easy getting through some of that stuff.

That fuse you found is a Parrot percussion fuse.

That worm your dad found is fantastic!
Welcome to Tnet, and I look foward to seeing your
future posts and finds!

I checked the books, and I stand corrected.
That piece I thought was a worm was actually
a brush that would be greased and use to help
lube a rifle or muskett.

At least the damage was limited to only your arm.

Your modeling career should be safe for now.

Hahahahaha! That's funny. Guess it will keep me from being a hand/arm model for a couple of months...I'll have to contact my agent and see! lol

My buddies finds...lots of bullets and 2 flat buttons

And last but not least, my dad's finds. I would also like some input on this object.

And another

Sorry, you can see it better than the pic looks...It says '25' with 'ALABAMA' under the 25. What was this object used for?

And this is my complete finds for the past two days.

I haven't been able to do any looking for info on it yet. If I get it figured out before someone post what it is I will be sure to post it up for everyone.

Re: 12/26/08 and 12/27/08CW Finds...pretty good days! (UPDATED)

Could the tag be some sort of dog tag? Or would it be something that was on a hat, saddle, flag pole? I'm stumped on this one....

Re: 12/26/08 and 12/27/08CW Finds...pretty good days! (UPDATED W/More pics)

Like the finds nice bullets and frag I have no idea what the tag is but I guess it could have stood for the 25th infantry of alabama it looks like it was either worn on the cappie or could have been on some butt plate of a rifle. Nice finds wither way
