Good CW relic hunt today

[sekypaleo]

Wow, what a wonderful day for Jan 7th! Felt like spring, so Greg (campbluegrass) and I got a 4 hour hour relic hunt in at a local spot I found many years ago that always likes to give up those big ole .69 cal minies. Greg and I both did really well, but he'll post his finds later (including another first for him!). Best finds for me was a soldiers brass wedding band. Close by I got 3 .69 cal minies with one that a soldier had hacked on with his knife. I also got 2 fired 58 cal's , an eagle button, a silver Rosie and a few other odds and ends. Thanks for looking! HH'ing all!

[MKnTenn]

Nice finds! Wedding bands are always a good find, those dang Civil War squirrel's, didn't they know lead is poisonous? HH

Nice digs, love those big 69'ers. That silver rosy was probably lost by the first relic hunter on the site back in the 60's - LOL

 

[treasurehound]

Nice hunt Bill. Those .69's are huge and we don't get too many of them here. We get most of ours in Virginia. Pouch gets heavy after hauling a few of those around, lol.
