Relic Hunting
A young friend of Dman and myself (TennJosh), asked me to post this for him. If you recall, we hunt with him from time to time and take him hunting. He discovered a virgin U.S. Cavalry site early this past week with his F75 and braved the almost 100 degree Tennessee heat and hunted a few hours most mornings to recover this fine box of relics.
We talked to him each day as he dug the relics. On the third day, all three of us concluded the site was a U.S. Cavalry Camp used in late 1863. The Sharps and Gallagher Carbine bullets that he recovered confirmed this. He did recover one Enfield bullet. His first find from that site was the carved bullet in the 2nd pic shaped like a two bladed pioneer axe head. That's a DANDY recovery. He did dig one GS Eagle Button. We are very proud of him and he has invited us to hunt there with him next week. Congrats Josh. You have showed us how it's done. Leave a few relics for Dman and myself, Quindy.

Man look at those relics would you!
Nice saves Tennjosh!

Can you just imagine what else is laying there?

I have to give you credit for even thinking of hitting those woods at this time of year!
I got out yesterday and had to leave early. Way too hot.
Congratulations
 
Wow Quindy, give Josh a big congrats for me.. That is an impressive couple days of digging.. That carved bullet is amazing, never seen one so precise. Is that a Large Cent also? or a flat button maybe? (middle/lower right side) Hope you guys do well.. With that Enfield being there, I would love to see a Tenn. button or any CS button show up :wink:
 
That is a FANTASTIC carved bullet! Beautiful! Congrats on all the FINE CW lead and the great sword hanger!
 
Awesome finds. I commend you for braving this Tennessee heat. Of course when you are finding relics like that who notices the heat. I hope that you guys find a lot more and I can't wait to see the results. Again great job Josh.
 
Awesome finds :icon_thumright: .look at those relics :hello2: Congratulations :icon_thumleft:
 
Josh is an amazing young man. He is becoming a master relic hunter. He has learned a lot from Vol.
Dman
 
Josh wants me to thank Mike, Jeff, BB, Thound, Ray, and Dman for your replies. Jeff, the round relic is not a LC or button. We and the local CW relics dealer are puzzled on that one.
Dman, you figured out relic hunting with the F75 for all 3 of us. Josh said the bullets generally read only 12-14 on the display until he got them near the top of the ground. Then, they read 58-60 as they should. Have a great weekend everyone!!!

12-14 ???
 
Wow,Wow,Wow, Great finds Josh, Congratulations from a Ohio Buckeye. I can only dream of finding relics like that. The
carved bullet is AWESOME!!!

Thanks Quindy for posting Josh's Fantastic finds. I bet you and Dman can't wait to hit this site with Josh. Looks like the Fisher F-75 is
kicking butt. It was nice to talk to you today. I am always amazed at the friends I have from all over the USA and we always seem
to keep in contact.

Today I lost one of my good friends and a fellow Vietnam veteran. He and I served in the same outfit in 'Nam and we both worked
together for nearly 40 years. I will miss him.

Thanks Again for calling Quindy, say Hi to Dman and don't forget to tell Josh, Job well done.

I'll pass your comments on to Josh Denny. Sorry about the loss of your friend and fellow Vietnam Veteran. Thank you for your service to our Country. I'm mailing you a package today. Relax-I'm not mailing Dman to you. The way he aggravates Josh and myself, you'd mail him back real soon. During the winter, we were hunting with Josh at the site where he dug his first plate and Dman "conveniently" forget to tell us that he had found a "cache" of CW bullets in an old road. He had a pocketful of bullets by the time he "remembered" to tell us-LOL.Stay cool my friend and good luck in Virginia this Fall.
 
That's a great week, looks like he's on to something big. I'm glad people are still finding some relics this time of year. Quindy, you need to tell him about hunting at night. It's a lot cooler.

Thanks Andy, I will tell him. You have done quite well at night in the last few weeks. I bought the cap light you recommended and it works great. I just hope it attracts relics-LOL.HH Buddy, Quindy.
 
Those are some great save's Quindy,Congrat's to Josh.Best of Luck to you and Dman on your visit....can't wait to see your find's :icon_thumright:
 
Great job, Josh!!! Heat or not I would be there too...d2
 
That's what you get for fortitude and persistence! Really great finds. I am sure there are more and if the heat relents maybe all of you will find a a lot more. Good Luck and great finds for Josh.
 
Quindy, you need to get Josh to sign up on Treasure Net. We need more relic hunters on here. Looking forward to our hunt tonight.
 
WOW Great finds for sure!!!!!! nothing like finding a site like that Congrats!

I talked to Josh today and he dug 6 more bullets (5 .44 Colts and a 3 ringer cut in half) and what looks like a lockplate this morning Joe. he's on a roll. Know you can't wait until Fall bud.

He wanted to thank D2, DMN, and Hutch for your comments. Andy, I'll get him signed up and we are headed South to see you in a few hours for our first night CW Relic hunt with you as our host. Thanks to all for looking.
 
Great assortmant of finds, and great for this time of the year, thanks for posting for your friend Quindy....HH
