New Tennessee Site=150 Year Old Relics-VIDEO

[VOL1266-X]

Yesterday (Feb. 11), I scouted a site consisting of 168 acres near a farm where Doug & I had recovered some .69 cal. 3 ring bullets last spring. It took about 3 hours for me to locate the relics. My finds from the scouting trip are shown on the white background. Today (Feb. 12), Doug and I traveled to the site with snow forecast to hopefully hunt 4 hours. Our recoveries are shown in the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] pic. Doug had a knapsack hook & nipple protector carved from a bullet. I had a carved bullet and a very interesting eagle button. The front of the button had the shield carved out of the eagle’s breast. I dug the button back about 6 inches away from the front. Larry Hicklen of Middle Tennessee Civil War Relics said that he has dug them with the shield and sometimes even the eagle cut out. Some of the button dies and thin brass are the reason for this in addition to a bored soldier carving on them. Never thought I would dig one like that-unusual. Enjpy our video. HH from Doug & Quindy.

GREAT video and some nice finds there! I had always wondered about eagle buttons with the shield cut out (had an example in a relic show in Roanoke Virginia years ago). Then I dug one here that had the whole eagle cut out.

Another GREAT hunt and another GREAT video! I'm sure after hunting 160 acres you'll have enough to stock a museum! Way to go!!!!

Thanks Jpro (Johnny, Richard (Old Stonewall), Davers, Nanners, & Breezie (Don't play in the snow-LOL.).
BB, Doug & I thought you had dug an eagle button like mine but couldn't recall if the shield or eagle was missing. Doug says "Yay" right back to you-LOL. HH to all, Q.

Seriously, I always enjoy watching your videos. The Tennessee trio are down-to-earth guys who tell it and show it like it is! That's what I like, and if you did have a metal detecting show, it would be the only one I would watch. Keep 'em coming!
