August House Relic Hunt

[CMDiamonddawg]

8-31-10 Greetings TN Last day of August . Hot and jungle like environment ,bugs ,many bugs , at this old home in the deep woods. Abandoned in the early 1900's . This old place was picked over years ago , but they are ,never hunted out . Here are some relics the diggers missed . Saddle shield , buckle , heal plate , bullets , a few horse shoes , wagon parts , two Coronet head large cents 1843 and 1846 , an ax head .. There should be more keepers at this site .. Thanks for taking to look CMD

Those coins look rough. Exposed to lots of corrosives. Nice finds none the less.

there ya go dawg!! i bet theres a pile there. willy

Thanks dfx I hope your right !!

Nice August deep woods hunt.. the critters make it more fun Josh and I have been hitting a spot where he's been wearing a misquito net over his face and Ive had to cover myself in OFF.. anyway, great finds and a good variety

Deep Woods OFF is a summer diggers necessity . I've used 8 cans of the stuff so far . The net over the face is a great idea . Besides the flying teeth ,chiggers , ticks , heat in the 90's , my worse problem is spider webs glued to the face :P Thanks to all who left a comment !!! Kirk ,Tommyj, Thanks mainer , Roger o69 , DeepDigger ,tuatara ,Krazyhorses , Bob in SVA appreciate it CMDdawg

Always fun to finds some those over looked items in the "hunted out" areas.
I was working through a small set of woods a few days ago and nearly ran across a hive of yellow jackets . I'd rather be annoyed by the 'skeeters and flies than step on a hive. Watch yourself!

Thanks DMN Bees have not been a problem ,so far spider webs and the flying teeth are no picnic but bees can ruin your day,that's for sure ..

Congrats on these great Finds!!
i'm sure there's more! Keep 'em comin! Good Digs, Herbie

Nice job on the coppers

Thanks jamebibb ,those ol 1840's places are a grab bag of time ,spanning 170 years ..coins aren't as bad as the pics make them out to be ..actually in fair shape

Those coins look rough. Exposed to lots of corrosives. Nice finds none the less.

Brad ,the pics are rougher than the coins ,but 160 years in the ground does take it's toll on them

you are doing well there! congrats!

Thanks cntry May you find some keepers ! Thanks to all who replied , I will remember you when u need a vote CMD
