Back to the TENN PIN Field to dig more U.S. CW Relics

[VOL1266-X]

Tuesday morning, Dman and I returned to the site where I dug the Tennessee State Veterans Pin last November. We have spent about 60 hours each detecting this site since we found it last April. Check Dman's last post for his finds. On Tuesday, I found another .36 cal. pistol ball, more pieces of iron canister, and my first brass cap box finial. My total finds from that site are displayed in the pics minus 20+ of the lead case shot slugs from artillery like those in the second pic. We keep expecting to come home empty handed from that site but it has not occurred yet. Two of the canister pieces that I found Tuesday are 2 balls fused together-that was a hot load coming from the cannon barrel.
Thanks for looking and HH from Tennessee.
Attention Nana40 and Mr. Nick: I tried to get Dman to call you before we went.

David, you found more in 8-9 hours than I did in 60 hours. However, I did not get as cold and did not eat as well either. HH

Nice finds. When I get to where I am not working 65 hours a week I will give you some lessons. I have gotten us permission to hunt a 200 acre virgin farm. There are a lot of old house sites on it.
