More Tenn. CW Relics from Saddle Shield field-Found 3 bullets in same hole today

[VOL1266-X]

I talked to Dman on Christmas Eve and he had a sore throat and sounded like Pee Wee Herman. We planned on going relic hunting but he emailed me last night and was sick. I should send the undertaker to his house to check him out as he rarely misses a relic hunting trip.
I wanted to get out so I made a solo trip this morning to the field where I dug the saddle shield on the 14th. It was clear and 23 degrees when I got out of my truck to hunt this morning (Attn. Modern Miner who called me a wimp concerning cold weather).
The finds were not that exciting but I dug the 3 dropped .58 cal. three ringers on the top row under the Eagle Button back in the same hole. It's been a while since I have had that happen.
A total of 9 hours of hunting was required to find the saddle shield and the rest of the relics in the pic from that site. You have to love this hobby to invest that much time in recovering a few relics in cold weather but I will be out again tomorrow. Thanks for looking, happy hunting, and may 2010 be your best detecting year ever.

Thanks Maine Man and Daytondigger. No snow here but thanks for the offer. HH.

Glad you are able to get out. Looks like you did ok. That saddle shield is worth the 9 hours alone as they aren't dug often anymore.

Yeah Bama Nana, Burt (Dman) must be pretty sick. I received an email from him a few minutes ago that said "Get me outta here-I'm going crazy". I am confident he will recover soon Nana. Thanks for looking anf Happy New Year Southern Belle.

Q-
You are officially off the wimp list now, but we will placing Dman (PeeWee) on there if we don't see a post by him soon.
Congrats on the CW lead buddy. I need to get back out in the woods soon to try to find some more of those soon. Deer season is over here Jan. 1st, so it should be safe again. I'll be sure not to wear my rabbit suit though.
I still think that saddle shield was an awesome find.

MM, he's already called and is planning for us to go hunting on Thursday. Amazing what posting a few relics that you found when he could not go can do for the health of your hunting buddy. HH.

That's the way!

You are very optimistic and successful.

Love the saddle shield.

Thanks 4-H, you must be optimistic in this day and time because these CW relics are disappearing fast as I'm sure you are aware. Hope you dodged the snow there. HH.

Awesome finds, but you are KILLING me out there. I am buried in snow up here and we do not have an CW relics. I need to make my way South someday and try it out.
Thanks for sharing.

Dan, we are fortunate that Tennessee had the second highest number of CW battles after Virginia. More battles=More camps. Thanks for looking and stay tuned-we have just begun to hunt. HNY.

Thanks Vayank, you are very fortunate to live in an area with more CW relics remaining in the ground than anywhere today. I hope you find your share and more in 2010. I just got lucky. Thanks for looking.

I expect a speedy recovery Joe. Where we hunt is not Antietam but lots of hunters do not live anywhere close to CW sites. Hope you have a Banner New Year Joe and HH.

I am a tad bit jealous.
Congratulations on some great recoveries!

Ty, no need to be jealous as you have had the opportunity to hunt Virginia sites most relic hunters can only dream about and you have made some great finds. The only reason you may be jealous is that we have NO SNOW. Happy New year Friend.
