How we spent Black Friday

JimK · Nov 30, 2015

Hello all,
I thought that we would share how we spent our black Friday. Instead of facing all of the crowds we headed the other direction to our Civil war camp. The pickings where a little sparse for some reason but we did find some stuff and a few firsts. My friend brought his grandsons out for a while so we gave him a few 3 ringers to slip in to the boys digs so we actually did a little better than it looks. One of the best finds of the day was my wife found our first star base .58 cal three ringer. Out of the almost 300 bullets we have found out there this is the first star. Another first was a candle stick holder and then a nipple protector (which I almost tossed in the scrap thinking it was a nut). We also got a nice complete J hook, 2 old keys (broken) a shoulder scale, a piece to a pocket knife. The usual rusty stuff, and nails and wire. But over all a much more fun day than fighting the crowds. Thanks for looking

Great job. I grew up in south central Kentucky ( Go Cats! ) and one of my favorite spots to go was Mill Springs. Can you imagine the amount of lead under the waters of Lake Cumberland in that area?

I agree. We lived in Somerset and Eubank for a couple of years before moving north to Nicholasville. I did not have a detector then bu am givin some thought to going back down that way to see if I can get any leads on some new spots.

Very nice,, giving the grandsons a few finds will give birth to a future generation of treasure hunters. Never seen a 3 ringer with a star base before.
Congrats on a sweet hunt
