Personal Best 506 Relics For 2013-Some Of My Favorite 2013 Relics

[VOL1266-X]

In one regard, 2013 ended with my highest number of CW relics ever-506. The quality of relics was not as good as prior years without any plates or CS buttons but here are my favorites:
1857 Flying Eagle cent- This coin came from a U.S.C.T. (United States Colored Troops) site near Nashville where the troops were assigned garrison duty on an old CW railroad guarding a trestle. Our friend Tenn. Digger invited Dman and I to hunt that site with him.
Relics from U.S.C.T. railroad site-These relics were dug on two trips to that 1864 site. The RR spikes were used as tent pegs.
Eagle “I” Officer’s infantry button-This one had loads of gilt and came from a picket site.
Best carved bullet-Possibly a game piece-U.S. site.
Box of my relics (179) from U.S. site-We call this one the Williams Cleaner camp that we hunted December 6-13.

I was honored to be pictured on the cover of Western & Eastern Treasures Magazine for the 4th consecutive year. I had 2 articles published in W & E Treasures, 2 articles published in American Digger Magazine, and one article published in North South Trader’s Civil War Magazine.
Wishing you great finds in 2014 & watch for more articles to be published during the year, Quindy.

You had a great year, Quindy. I enjoyed following your posts. I hope you have a banner year in 2014! Happy New Year!

I would post a reply but it is too early on New Years Day.

Q....you guys had a fantastic year. So glad that you and the Trio love and appreciate the relics. Have you cleaned out the "Williams cleaners camp" yet? DMan has issues.

Quindy,
Outstanding 2013 my friend. The Tenn Trio killed it on the coins and CW relics this year. Your persistence at scouting out new spots has really paid off for you.
That Williams Cleaner Camp was LOADED!!! I love that poker chip and carved bullet. What was that iron "J" hook used for do you think? Very cool.
Congrats on the articles and photos you had published this year too Q. I know that's a real honor. I bet Dman has all of your cover shots framed and over his fireplace. I appreciate the videos you shoot for all of us to enjoy, and love the humor you guys bring to Tnet.
Happy New Year and may 2014 be your most productive ever.

P.S. I will make it over there to detect with you guys this year.

Very nice, Quindy! No plates for 2013 means you are due for a double portion in 2014. That's an impressive pile of cleaners!

Congrats on having such a Great 2013, It just goes to show that having a passion of saving Civil war relics and spending the time on research and in the field can still offer some Amazing displays of Our American history. The Tenn trio is a inspiration to our hobby and I always appreiciate the videos and post you share.
I hope you all have a Great 2014, Bill

What a fantastic year, Quindy! Your hard work in scouting out these sites and determination to recover as much history as possible is certainly an inspiration to me and many others. May 2014 bring you quantity and quality relics! HH

MM, Donnie thought it may have been used as a cooking pot holder to pick up a hot pot bail that has been heating over a fire. HH, Q.

A memorable year, for sure, Quindy - Hope 2014 is even better for you!

 

[tennessee digger]

Q....good to talk to you today, look forward to getting out and digging. Cairo looks like a great place or is it Carthage?

 

[Steve in PA]

Great year Quindy! It doesn't matter how many relics you dig as long as you have fun doing it. Best of luck in 2014.

 

[BuckleBoy]

This was a great year for ya, Quindy. Wish we could've hosted you down our way again, but we had to head North to tie up a few loose ends this year. Very well done, and best wishes for 2014 my friend!
