Relic Hunting
With Josh working and Doug’s daughter from Texas visiting today, I made a solo return trip to one leg of the U.S. Civil War Infantry camp Triangle and hunted the North camp where I dug 5 dropped bullets last Monday. I dug a dropped .58 and .69 to add to the box from Triangle camp #1. I consolidated my relics from Camp #1 and #3 into one box as shown. The Tennessee Trio recovered 232 relics from triangle Camp #2 in 2014 as it was previously undiscovered. Thanks for looking, Q.
Watch for my article “One Relic short of 500” in the May issue of W & E Treasures Magazine. See Doug standing in a rifle pit-LOL.

WAF, the answer is "Have a woodworking friend build heavy duty cabinets to keep them in"-LOL. Thanks WAF & HH, Q.

Yep! That'll do it! Looks like you'll be ready to open up a shop when the black powder revolution comes back into style.

Say! Maybe you can tell me. Something about the "musket balls" I found in my last post? I can't tell a modern lead ball from an antique. (except for a solid white patina). :)

Nice set up!

I saw them earlier and when I started muzzleloader hunting for deer in the 1970s, We never used the balls-only conical bullets. People who used balls shot .45, 50, and .54 cal. balls. The .69s and larger were Rev. War & CW. It takes several years to achieve the lead oxide patina. Check the ball caliber. I'm certainly no weapons authority. HH, Q.
 

Great, great hunt. I bet the others wish they could have gone along. Thank you for your videos Mr. Q. I always enjoy them. Your comments are always welcomed too because of the amount of knowledge you share with us. Keep 'em coming.
 

Way to go Quinn been a while but great video as always
 

Great finds Quindy, CONGRATS :thumbsup:
 

Ya know, Quindy, sometimes it makes me wonder. There are sooooo many dropped bullets out there from the Civil War! It makes me wonder how anybody ever won that war! LOL

I love the display!
