Carved "Tooth", Epaulet Key, Buttons, & Bullets at Picket Post Site

[VOL1266-X]

I promised Josh a hunt at the picket post site since Doug already had a good start on a box of relics from the site from our hunt last week. Fortunately, Josh finally had a weekend off. The rain was predicted to end by 2 pm so we decided meet at 3 pm for a rare afternoon hunt. The weather forecast was wrong because the rain began once more as we arrived with a north wind and 46 degrees. We donned our hoodies and hit the field. We had a 3 hr. 40 minute hunt as dark came early due to cloud cover. My best find was a carved tooth. Josh dug a brass epaulet key and a ball button. We dig few ball buttons here. We both dug several bullets. I had one eagle button disintegrate in my hand and was left with only the back. Josh dug a few coat size eagles and only one was in decent shape. Josh loves digging knapsack hooks and I had the audacity to dig two on our hunt-LOL. Our relic hunting will be over soon so we’re getting ‘em while we can. HH from Josh & Quindy.

It's good to see the "old guy" letting the "young guy" get in some video time. Do you get any royalties from their book since it seems to only get any advertisement on your posts, Mr. Q? Do you ever have any bad hunts?

Those of you waiting on Dman & Josh's book on "How to locate CW sites" may have a long wait as they must first figure out how to find their butts-LOL. Donnie, Dman mnay not be the most interesting hunter in world but he's the most aggravating for sure as you know well.

Everyone has bad hunts OD. They mostly happen on our scouting trips. Once we locate a site, we generally do OK. Assistance from verteran diggers like Donnie is invaluable and virgin sites like Picket Camp (vs. the picket post we are currently hunting) provide lots of digging opportunities. The F75s have been an important addition to hunting sites previously found. In the early hunting days here (30+ years ago), sites were being found daily (so I've been told). Hunters concentrated on really good signals like plates and brass signals and quickly moved on to orther sites. As to royalties on the "books", all I get ftom Doug & Josh are continual headaches-LOL. HH, Q.

Them some good finds.....Wonder how the lead tooth worked out for the maker of it?
Have to wonder about stuff like that.............I have only found a few with teeth marks in them.

What part of Northern Middle TN you in? I'm in the general area also.

He was just fooling around carving something. It was way too big to be used as a replacement. We are east of Gallatin. HH, q.
