Relic Hunting
Tnrelicman and I decided to try the woods today for some CW relics. This is a very large camp and we have been hunting it for some time now mainly in the fall and winter. Well today we decided to get up early and see what we could do. Temperature was not too bad early on. There was a lot of open areas to hunt but the main areas we would like to hunt still have too much overgrowth. One of my first finds was a three ringer. Then a round ball. After a few shotgun hulls I found a spot that had some camp lead. That is always a good sign. Then I found the button. I could not tell at first what it was but it did have a shank and the front was raised so I knew there was some kind of design on it. I was pretty sure it was an eagle button but did not know for sure. I put it away to clean when I got home. I also found some small brass piece I am still unsure about. Then it got to the point we were just wore out from the heat. We sprayed ourselves with insect repellent and the bugs was not too bad. Except for the numerous time I walked into a spider web. Man I am still spitting out those webs. Not much today but we always find bullets and other relics every time we hunt this site. I found the lone three ringer, ball, eagle button that is not in very good condition, camp lead, another button (could be overall or jeans) and a brass thingy that has some small round objects in it.

Those are some good relics partner. I know where you were and any relics coming out of there this time of year are much accredited.

See y'all Friday. :wink:
 
You shouldve takn a picture of my head in the truck, I think that wouldve gave a good indication of the spider webs lol, had a great time as usual, just a matter of time until that buckle of breast plate jumps out of the ground :icon_thumleft:

OMG. That would have been a good picture. Here's the story. I got into Guy's truck and I looked over and his head was covered with a big glob of spider webs. Could you have imagined what your girlfriend would have said if she saw you? I saved your life...lol.
 
Nice Finds gentlemen and especially for this time of year. That site holds great promise for you. HH, Quindy.

Nice finds....I believe the brass piece is a ramrod tip.

I bet you are right. I never thought about that. Thanks
 
I was wondering what that could be, ramrod tip it could be.
 
Nice finds, I cant wait until the corn gets harvested in my area to finally get out.....
 
Nice CW finds.
Congrats,
Dman

Very close. Also called a "buffalo horn"

Yours is CW


Nice buddy

Thanks. I believe that button was an "I" button as well. It looks like the top part of an I on the shield. Man that button is in bad shape. Most that we take out of there are in really good condition. Oh well at least it is a button. See ya Friday.
 
Hey it's the history behind the guy that wore it.
Pretty cool.

I made a mistake on my last post. I meant to write Also "Comes" in or with a buffalo horn. :D
Sorry
 
Looks like you all are on to something that could be big. Keep hunting. Things will get better this fall for all of us I'm sure.
 
Nice digs. Crazy how some buttons will pop out and look perfect and the next will be hit by fertilizer or something. The spider webs are bad already. I rode my 4 wheeler in the mtns Saturday and my head looked like a cocoon. I forgot to put up a stick on my front rack to knock them down. :laughing7:
Happy Hunting !
