CW hunt with Treasurehound today, some lead and spider webs

[Tnrelicman]

Me and Randy hit the woods early today, we both managed a few finds, still a little green to hit the good spots, not sure how many spiders I made mad by wearing there webs, typical shotgun hull finds as well, but everytime I dig one, I know it couldve been......one three ringer, one fired 57 cal. enfield and a few pistol balls. Also included a picture a an old log home, logs look to be in great shape, and civil war era, my kind of house.

Neat old place

Nice looking bullet finds . . . the house sure looks like a "fixer-upper" to me.

The logs in that house would be beautiful for someone to salvage. My father has salvaged a couple of old cabins over the years but the logs had been under siding like the house you pictured. The pity about those nice old logs is that they rot fairly quickly after they are exposed to the elements like the logs in that picture where the siding has come off. The owner should sell the house to be salvaged or 're-side' the siding for posterity sake.

Nice Finds Guy!!! If you skip those shotgun brass, you may also skip a button. I bet Randy looked like "Spiderman". Did you get to the Pigeon Forge CW Show? HH, Quindy

What's up man?

You keep pulling those relics out from that spot!
Good finds.
Those blasted shell casings We should save them and turn them in for scrap.

I see You and the boy have the TN. orange sporting in the avatar.
I can't wait. The second game should tell us if were competing this year. I think Dooley is for real.
I'll see you and Randy Friday.


GO VOLS

Nice finds there Guy. It wasn't too bad in there today. Once we cut our way through it was pretty open.

Quindy - You are correct on the shotgun hulls. One good thing about finding the hulls is that you know you are in an area you haven't hunted yet.

Mike - You may be right on scrap. I bet I have thrown over 100 of them away. I can't wait until Friday. We have not hunted that site we are going to very hard. I bet there should be some more bullets, buttons and more old coins. See you Friday.

Nice CW finds. I always dig a bunch of shotgun shells.

Nice finds! Love the old house.

Thanks everyone, I like the old log homes, I try to get them when I see them, I'm currently restoring 2 of my own, but always looking for another lol. I hope everything works out for Friday guys.
Here is an older pict of the two cabins I'm restoring, both are pre-civil war, one came from union county and the other from Nashville, its amazing the craftsmanship you see when you get into one of these, they really are works of art.

And they did not use power tools back then. Everything was done by hand.

I agree, I'm pretty stoked.
see you 2 Friday!

WOW GUY! The cabins are looking great. Nice pictures.

 

[Dixiedigger]

Nice finds, those shotgun shells hit just like a button. You have to dig them.

 

[Tnmountains]

It is not easy to mark all those logs and then re-build it. Nice finds looks like they have killed a few rabbits around there over the years. Good looking Tennessee lead.
It's football time in Tennessee
